What value divided by 78 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 78 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 78 × 72 = 5616

To prove this, let's compute 5616 divided by 78: 5616 78 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 78 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 78 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 78: 78 x 78 = 78 × 72
  2. 78 x 78 is equivalent to 78 78 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 78 × 72 = 5616

So, if the divisor is 78 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 5616.
