What value divided by 52 equals 12?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 52 and the quotient 12?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 52 × 12 = 624
To prove this, let's compute 624 divided by 52:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 52 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 52:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 52 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 624.
