What value divided by 12 equals 71?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 71?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 71 = 852

To prove this, let's compute 852 divided by 12: 852 12 = 71

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 71 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 71

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 71
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 71 = 852

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 71, the dividend is 852.
