What value divided by 12 equals 96?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 96?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 96 = 1152
To prove this, let's compute 1152 divided by 12:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 96 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 96, the dividend is 1152.
