What value divided by 59 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 59 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 59 × 87 = 5133

To prove this, let's compute 5133 divided by 59: 5133 59 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 59 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 59 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 59: 59 x 59 = 59 × 87
  2. 59 x 59 is equivalent to 59 59 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 59 × 87 = 5133

So, if the divisor is 59 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 5133.
