What value divided by 12 equals 48?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 48?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 48 = 576

To prove this, let's compute 576 divided by 12: 576 12 = 48

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 48 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 48

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 48
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 48 = 576

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 48, the dividend is 576.
