What value divided by 87 equals 20?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 20?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 20 = 1740

To prove this, let's compute 1740 divided by 87: 1740 87 = 20

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 20 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 20

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 20
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 20 = 1740

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 20, the dividend is 1740.
