What value divided by 57 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 57 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 57 × 87 = 4959

To prove this, let's compute 4959 divided by 57: 4959 57 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 57 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 57 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 57: 57 x 57 = 57 × 87
  2. 57 x 57 is equivalent to 57 57 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 57 × 87 = 4959

So, if the divisor is 57 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 4959.
