What value divided by 47 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 47 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 47 × 87 = 4089

To prove this, let's compute 4089 divided by 47: 4089 47 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 47 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 47 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 47: 47 x 47 = 47 × 87
  2. 47 x 47 is equivalent to 47 47 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 47 × 87 = 4089

So, if the divisor is 47 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 4089.
