What value divided by 12 equals 46?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 46?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 46 = 552

To prove this, let's compute 552 divided by 12: 552 12 = 46

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 46 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 46

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 46
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 46 = 552

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 46, the dividend is 552.
