What value divided by 12 equals 60?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 60?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 60 = 720

To prove this, let's compute 720 divided by 12: 720 12 = 60

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 60 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 60

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 60
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 60 = 720

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 60, the dividend is 720.
