What value divided by 56 equals 12?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 56 and the quotient 12?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 56 × 12 = 672

To prove this, let's compute 672 divided by 56: 672 56 = 12

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 56 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 56 = 12

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 56: 56 x 56 = 56 × 12
  2. 56 x 56 is equivalent to 56 56 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 56 × 12 = 672

So, if the divisor is 56 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 672.
