What value divided by 12 equals 85?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 85?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 85 = 1020

To prove this, let's compute 1020 divided by 12: 1020 12 = 85

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 85 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 85

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 85
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 85 = 1020

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 85, the dividend is 1020.
