What value divided by 56 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 56 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 56 × 87 = 4872

To prove this, let's compute 4872 divided by 56: 4872 56 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 56 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 56 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 56: 56 x 56 = 56 × 87
  2. 56 x 56 is equivalent to 56 56 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 56 × 87 = 4872

So, if the divisor is 56 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 4872.
