What value divided by 17 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 87 = 1479

To prove this, let's compute 1479 divided by 17: 1479 17 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 87
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 87 = 1479

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 1479.
