What value divided by 81 equals 12?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 81 and the quotient 12?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 81 × 12 = 972

To prove this, let's compute 972 divided by 81: 972 81 = 12

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 81 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 81 = 12

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 81: 81 x 81 = 81 × 12
  2. 81 x 81 is equivalent to 81 81 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 81 × 12 = 972

So, if the divisor is 81 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 972.
