What value divided by 87 equals 12?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 12?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 12 = 1044

To prove this, let's compute 1044 divided by 87: 1044 87 = 12

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 12

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 12
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 12 = 1044

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 1044.
