What value divided by 88 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 88 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 88 × 72 = 6336

To prove this, let's compute 6336 divided by 88: 6336 88 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 88 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 88 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 88: 88 x 88 = 88 × 72
  2. 88 x 88 is equivalent to 88 88 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 88 × 72 = 6336

So, if the divisor is 88 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 6336.
