What value divided by 12 equals 81?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 81?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 81 = 972

To prove this, let's compute 972 divided by 12: 972 12 = 81

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 81 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 81

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 81
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 81 = 972

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 81, the dividend is 972.
