What value divided by 12 equals 23?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 23?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 23 = 276

To prove this, let's compute 276 divided by 12: 276 12 = 23

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 23 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 23

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 23
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 23 = 276

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 23, the dividend is 276.
