What value divided by 82 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 82 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 82 × 72 = 5904

To prove this, let's compute 5904 divided by 82: 5904 82 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 82 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 82 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 82: 82 x 82 = 82 × 72
  2. 82 x 82 is equivalent to 82 82 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 82 × 72 = 5904

So, if the divisor is 82 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 5904.
