What value divided by 12 equals 82?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 82?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 82 = 984
To prove this, let's compute 984 divided by 12:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 82 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 82, the dividend is 984.
