What value divided by 12 equals 56?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 56?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 56 = 672

To prove this, let's compute 672 divided by 12: 672 12 = 56

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 56 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 56

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 56
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 56 = 672

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 56, the dividend is 672.
