What value divided by 8 equals 12?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 8 and the quotient 12?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 8 × 12 = 96

To prove this, let's compute 96 divided by 8: 96 8 = 12

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 8 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 8 = 12

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 8: 8 x 8 = 8 × 12
  2. 8 x 8 is equivalent to 8 8 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 8 × 12 = 96

So, if the divisor is 8 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 96.
