What value divided by 71 equals 12?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 71 and the quotient 12?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 71 × 12 = 852

To prove this, let's compute 852 divided by 71: 852 71 = 12

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 71 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 71 = 12

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 71: 71 x 71 = 71 × 12
  2. 71 x 71 is equivalent to 71 71 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 71 × 12 = 852

So, if the divisor is 71 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 852.
