What value divided by 10 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 10 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 10 × 87 = 870

To prove this, let's compute 870 divided by 10: 870 10 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 10 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 10 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 10: 10 x 10 = 10 × 87
  2. 10 x 10 is equivalent to 10 10 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 10 × 87 = 870

So, if the divisor is 10 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 870.
