What value divided by 14 equals 87?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 14 and the quotient 87?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 14 × 87 = 1218
To prove this, let's compute 1218 divided by 14:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 14 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 14:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 14 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 1218.
