What value divided by 84 equals 12?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 84 and the quotient 12?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 84 × 12 = 1008
To prove this, let's compute 1008 divided by 84:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 84 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 84:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 84 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 1008.
