What value divided by 43 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 43 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 43 × 87 = 3741

To prove this, let's compute 3741 divided by 43: 3741 43 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 43 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 43 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 43: 43 x 43 = 43 × 87
  2. 43 x 43 is equivalent to 43 43 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 43 × 87 = 3741

So, if the divisor is 43 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 3741.
