What value divided by 12 equals 47?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 47?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 47 = 564

To prove this, let's compute 564 divided by 12: 564 12 = 47

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 47 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 47

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 47
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 47 = 564

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 47, the dividend is 564.
