What value divided by 87 equals 16?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 16?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 16 = 1392

To prove this, let's compute 1392 divided by 87: 1392 87 = 16

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 16 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 16

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 16
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 16 = 1392

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 16, the dividend is 1392.
