What value divided by 48 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 48 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 48 × 87 = 4176

To prove this, let's compute 4176 divided by 48: 4176 48 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 48 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 48 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 48: 48 x 48 = 48 × 87
  2. 48 x 48 is equivalent to 48 48 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 48 × 87 = 4176

So, if the divisor is 48 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 4176.
