To find the value that correctly fills in the blank, we first calculate the left side of the equation:
\[ 32 + 72 = 104 \]
Next, we calculate the value of \( (4 + 9) \):
\[ 4 + 9 = 13 \]
Now, we can set up the equation based on the original expression:
\[ 104 = \text{blank} \times 13 \]
To find the value that fills in the blank, we can solve for it by dividing \( 104 \) by \( 13 \):
\[ \text{blank} = \frac{104}{13} = 8 \]
Thus, the value that correctly fills in the blank is:
\[ \boxed{8} \]
