What value divided by 12 equals 78?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 78?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 78 = 936

To prove this, let's compute 936 divided by 12: 936 12 = 78

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 78 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 78

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 78
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 78 = 936

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 78, the dividend is 936.
