What value divided by 70 equals 12?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 70 and the quotient 12?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 70 × 12 = 840
To prove this, let's compute 840 divided by 70:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 70 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 70:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 70 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 840.
