What value divided by 12 equals 74?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 74 = 888

To prove this, let's compute 888 divided by 12: $\frac{888}{12} = 74$

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 74 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{x}{12} = 74$

We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: $\frac{12 x}{12} = 12 \times 74$
$\frac{12 x}{12}$ is equivalent to $\frac{12}{12} x$ , which simplifies to $1 x$ (or just $x$ ).
Thus: $x = 12 \times 74 = 888$

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 74, the dividend is 888.
