What value divided by 12 equals 12?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 12?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 12 = 144
To prove this, let's compute 144 divided by 12:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 144.
