What value divided by 20 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 20 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 20 × 87 = 1740

To prove this, let's compute 1740 divided by 20: 1740 20 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 20 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 20 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 20: 20 x 20 = 20 × 87
  2. 20 x 20 is equivalent to 20 20 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 20 × 87 = 1740

So, if the divisor is 20 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 1740.
