What value divided by 18 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 18 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 18 × 87 = 1566

To prove this, let's compute 1566 divided by 18: 1566 18 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 18 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 18 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 18: 18 x 18 = 18 × 87
  2. 18 x 18 is equivalent to 18 18 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 18 × 87 = 1566

So, if the divisor is 18 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 1566.
