What value divided by 100 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 100 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 100 × 87 = 8700

To prove this, let's compute 8700 divided by 100: 8700 100 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 100 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 100 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 100: 100 x 100 = 100 × 87
  2. 100 x 100 is equivalent to 100 100 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 100 × 87 = 8700

So, if the divisor is 100 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 8700.
