What value divided by 45 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 45 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 45 × 87 = 3915

To prove this, let's compute 3915 divided by 45: 3915 45 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 45 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 45 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 45: 45 x 45 = 45 × 87
  2. 45 x 45 is equivalent to 45 45 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 45 × 87 = 3915

So, if the divisor is 45 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 3915.
