What value divided by 12 equals 54?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 54?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 54 = 648
To prove this, let's compute 648 divided by 12:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 54 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 54, the dividend is 648.
