What value divided by 87 equals 18?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 18?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 18 = 1566

To prove this, let's compute 1566 divided by 87: 1566 87 = 18

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 18 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 18

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 18
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 18 = 1566

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 18, the dividend is 1566.
