What value divided by 79 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 79 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 79 × 87 = 6873

To prove this, let's compute 6873 divided by 79: 6873 79 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 79 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 79 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 79: 79 x 79 = 79 × 87
  2. 79 x 79 is equivalent to 79 79 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 79 × 87 = 6873

So, if the divisor is 79 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 6873.
