What value divided by 72 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 72 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 72 × 87 = 6264

To prove this, let's compute 6264 divided by 72: 6264 72 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 72 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 72 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 72: 72 x 72 = 72 × 87
  2. 72 x 72 is equivalent to 72 72 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 72 × 87 = 6264

So, if the divisor is 72 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 6264.
