What value divided by 83 equals 12?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 83 and the quotient 12?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 83 × 12 = 996

To prove this, let's compute 996 divided by 83: 996 83 = 12

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 83 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 83 = 12

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 83: 83 x 83 = 83 × 12
  2. 83 x 83 is equivalent to 83 83 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 83 × 12 = 996

So, if the divisor is 83 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 996.
