What value divided by 27 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 27 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 27 × 87 = 2349

To prove this, let's compute 2349 divided by 27: 2349 27 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 27 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 27 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 27: 27 x 27 = 27 × 87
  2. 27 x 27 is equivalent to 27 27 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 27 × 87 = 2349

So, if the divisor is 27 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 2349.
