What value divided by 33 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 33 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 33 × 87 = 2871

To prove this, let's compute 2871 divided by 33: 2871 33 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 33 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 33 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 33: 33 x 33 = 33 × 87
  2. 33 x 33 is equivalent to 33 33 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 33 × 87 = 2871

So, if the divisor is 33 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 2871.
