What value divided by 87 equals 15?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 15?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 15 = 1305

To prove this, let's compute 1305 divided by 87: 1305 87 = 15

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 15 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 15

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 15
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 15 = 1305

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 15, the dividend is 1305.
