What value divided by 87 equals 21?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 21?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 21 = 1827

To prove this, let's compute 1827 divided by 87: 1827 87 = 21

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 21 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 21

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 21
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 21 = 1827

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 21, the dividend is 1827.
