What value divided by 34 equals 12?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 34 and the quotient 12?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 34 × 12 = 408
To prove this, let's compute 408 divided by 34:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 34 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 34:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 34 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 408.
