What value divided by 12 equals 15?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 15?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 15 = 180

To prove this, let's compute 180 divided by 12: 180 12 = 15

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 15 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 15

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 15
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 15 = 180

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 15, the dividend is 180.
