What value divided by 33 equals 12?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 33 and the quotient 12?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 33 × 12 = 396
To prove this, let's compute 396 divided by 33:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 33 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 33:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 33 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 396.
