What Divided By 72 Equals 306

Solving What Divided by 72 Equals 306

Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:

$\frac{x}{72}=306$

The goal of the problem is to solve for $x$. To do this we need to change the equation so that $x$ is alone on one side of the equation. In this case, we can do that by multiplying both sides of the equation by $72$, resulting in this equation:

$x = 306 \times 72$

Then we simplify and find our answer:

$x = 22032$

So, the answer to the question “What divided by $72$ equals $306$?” is $22032$. To prove this, we can take the original problem:

$\frac{x}{72} = 306$

And insert $22032$ in the place of $x$:

$\frac{22032}{72} = 306$

Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
