What value divided by 20 equals 12?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 20 and the quotient 12?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 20 × 12 = 240

To prove this, let's compute 240 divided by 20: 240 20 = 12

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 20 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 20 = 12

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 20: 20 x 20 = 20 × 12
  2. 20 x 20 is equivalent to 20 20 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 20 × 12 = 240

So, if the divisor is 20 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 240.
