What value divided by 12 equals 79?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 79?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 79 = 948

To prove this, let's compute 948 divided by 12: 948 12 = 79

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 79 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 79

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 79
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 79 = 948

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 79, the dividend is 948.
