What value divided by 77 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 77 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 77 × 72 = 5544

To prove this, let's compute 5544 divided by 77: 5544 77 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 77 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 77 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 77: 77 x 77 = 77 × 72
  2. 77 x 77 is equivalent to 77 77 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 77 × 72 = 5544

So, if the divisor is 77 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 5544.
