What value divided by 71 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 71 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 71 × 87 = 6177

To prove this, let's compute 6177 divided by 71: 6177 71 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 71 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 71 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 71: 71 x 71 = 71 × 87
  2. 71 x 71 is equivalent to 71 71 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 71 × 87 = 6177

So, if the divisor is 71 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 6177.
