What value divided by 24 equals 12?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 24 and the quotient 12?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 24 × 12 = 288
To prove this, let's compute 288 divided by 24:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 24 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 24:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 24 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 288.
