What value divided by 80 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 80 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 80 × 72 = 5760

To prove this, let's compute 5760 divided by 80: 5760 80 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 80 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 80 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 80: 80 x 80 = 80 × 72
  2. 80 x 80 is equivalent to 80 80 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 80 × 72 = 5760

So, if the divisor is 80 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 5760.
