What value divided by 12 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 87 = 1044

To prove this, let's compute 1044 divided by 12: 1044 12 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 87
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 87 = 1044

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 1044.
