What value divided by 12 equals 57?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 57?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 57 = 684

To prove this, let's compute 684 divided by 12: 684 12 = 57

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 57 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 57

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 57
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 57 = 684

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 57, the dividend is 684.
