What value divided by 87 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 17 = 1479

To prove this, let's compute 1479 divided by 87: 1479 87 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 17
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 17 = 1479

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 1479.
