What value divided by 12 equals 21?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 21?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 21 = 252

To prove this, let's compute 252 divided by 12: 252 12 = 21

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 21 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 21

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 21
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 21 = 252

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 21, the dividend is 252.
