What value divided by 26 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 26 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 26 × 87 = 2262

To prove this, let's compute 2262 divided by 26: 2262 26 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 26 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 26 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 26: 26 x 26 = 26 × 87
  2. 26 x 26 is equivalent to 26 26 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 26 × 87 = 2262

So, if the divisor is 26 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 2262.
