What value divided by 8 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 8 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 8 × 87 = 696

To prove this, let's compute 696 divided by 8: 696 8 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 8 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 8 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 8: 8 x 8 = 8 × 87
  2. 8 x 8 is equivalent to 8 8 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 8 × 87 = 696

So, if the divisor is 8 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 696.
