What value divided by 7 equals 12?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 7 and the quotient 12?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 7 × 12 = 84

To prove this, let's compute 84 divided by 7: 84 7 = 12

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 7 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 7 = 12

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 7: 7 x 7 = 7 × 12
  2. 7 x 7 is equivalent to 7 7 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 7 × 12 = 84

So, if the divisor is 7 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 84.
