What Divided By 12 Equals 512

Solving What Divided by 12 Equals 512

Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:

$\frac{x}{12}=512$

The goal of the problem is to solve for $x$. To do this we need to change the equation so that $x$ is alone on one side of the equation. In this case, we can do that by multiplying both sides of the equation by $12$, resulting in this equation:

$x = 512 \times 12$

Then we simplify and find our answer:

$x = 6144$

So, the answer to the question “What divided by $12$ equals $512$?” is $6144$. To prove this, we can take the original problem:

$\frac{x}{12} = 512$

And insert $6144$ in the place of $x$:

$\frac{6144}{12} = 512$

Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
