What value divided by 12 equals 24?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 24?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 24 = 288

To prove this, let's compute 288 divided by 12: 288 12 = 24

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 24 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 24

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 24
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 24 = 288

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 24, the dividend is 288.
