What value divided by 83 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 83 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 83 × 72 = 5976

To prove this, let's compute 5976 divided by 83: 5976 83 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 83 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 83 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 83: 83 x 83 = 83 × 72
  2. 83 x 83 is equivalent to 83 83 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 83 × 72 = 5976

So, if the divisor is 83 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 5976.
