What value divided by 35 equals 12?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 35 and the quotient 12?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 35 × 12 = 420
To prove this, let's compute 420 divided by 35:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 35 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 35:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 35 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 420.
