What value divided by 99 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 99 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 99 × 72 = 7128

To prove this, let's compute 7128 divided by 99: 7128 99 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 99 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 99 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 99: 99 x 99 = 99 × 72
  2. 99 x 99 is equivalent to 99 99 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 99 × 72 = 7128

So, if the divisor is 99 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 7128.
