What value divided by 12 equals 51?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 51?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 51 = 612

To prove this, let's compute 612 divided by 12: 612 12 = 51

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 51 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 51

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 51
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 51 = 612

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 51, the dividend is 612.
