What value divided by 15 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 87 = 1305

To prove this, let's compute 1305 divided by 15: 1305 15 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 87
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 87 = 1305

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 1305.
