What value divided by 16 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 87 = 1392

To prove this, let's compute 1392 divided by 16: 1392 16 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 16 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 16: 16 x 16 = 16 × 87
  2. 16 x 16 is equivalent to 16 16 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 16 × 87 = 1392

So, if the divisor is 16 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 1392.
