What value divided by 84 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 84 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 84 × 72 = 6048

To prove this, let's compute 6048 divided by 84: 6048 84 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 84 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 84 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 84: 84 x 84 = 84 × 72
  2. 84 x 84 is equivalent to 84 84 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 84 × 72 = 6048

So, if the divisor is 84 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 6048.
