What value divided by 12 equals 16?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 16?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 16 = 192

To prove this, let's compute 192 divided by 12: 192 12 = 16

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 16 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 16

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 16
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 16 = 192

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 16, the dividend is 192.
