What value divided by 36 equals 12?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 36 and the quotient 12?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 36 × 12 = 432
To prove this, let's compute 432 divided by 36:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 36 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 36:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 36 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 432.
