What value divided by 86 equals 12?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 86 and the quotient 12?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 86 × 12 = 1032
To prove this, let's compute 1032 divided by 86:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 86 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 86:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 86 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 1032.
