What value divided by 50 equals 12?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 50 and the quotient 12?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 50 × 12 = 600
To prove this, let's compute 600 divided by 50:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 50 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 50:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 50 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 600.
