What value divided by 83 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 83 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 83 × 87 = 7221

To prove this, let's compute 7221 divided by 83: 7221 83 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 83 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 83 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 83: 83 x 83 = 83 × 87
  2. 83 x 83 is equivalent to 83 83 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 83 × 87 = 7221

So, if the divisor is 83 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 7221.
