What value divided by 23 equals 12?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 23 and the quotient 12?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 23 × 12 = 276

To prove this, let's compute 276 divided by 23: 276 23 = 12

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 23 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 23 = 12

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 23: 23 x 23 = 23 × 12
  2. 23 x 23 is equivalent to 23 23 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 23 × 12 = 276

So, if the divisor is 23 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 276.
