Firstly, let us define the given terms. The dividend is the given number that is going to be divided, and the divisor is the number that is doing the dividing. Therefore, given above that the divisor is 12, it will look like this. Dividend / 12 = 24. To solve what the dividend is, we simply multiply the divisor and the quotient and we get 288. The dividend is 288. Hope this answer helps.
