What value divided by 21 equals 12?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 21 and the quotient 12?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 21 × 12 = 252

To prove this, let's compute 252 divided by 21: 252 21 = 12

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 21 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 21 = 12

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 21: 21 x 21 = 21 × 12
  2. 21 x 21 is equivalent to 21 21 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 21 × 12 = 252

So, if the divisor is 21 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 252.
