What value divided by 40 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 40 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 40 × 87 = 3480

To prove this, let's compute 3480 divided by 40: 3480 40 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 40 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 40 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 40: 40 x 40 = 40 × 87
  2. 40 x 40 is equivalent to 40 40 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 40 × 87 = 3480

So, if the divisor is 40 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 3480.
