What value divided by 12 equals 20?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 20?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 20 = 240

To prove this, let's compute 240 divided by 12: 240 12 = 20

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 20 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 20

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 20
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 20 = 240

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 20, the dividend is 240.
