What value divided by 12 equals 83?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 83?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 83 = 996

To prove this, let's compute 996 divided by 12: 996 12 = 83

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 83 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 83

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 83
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 83 = 996

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 83, the dividend is 996.
