What value divided by 31 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 31 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 31 × 87 = 2697

To prove this, let's compute 2697 divided by 31: 2697 31 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 31 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 31 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 31: 31 x 31 = 31 × 87
  2. 31 x 31 is equivalent to 31 31 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 31 × 87 = 2697

So, if the divisor is 31 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 2697.
