What value divided by 64 equals 12?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 64 and the quotient 12?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 64 × 12 = 768
To prove this, let's compute 768 divided by 64:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 64 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 64:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 64 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 768.
