What value divided by 87 equals 23?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 23?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 23 = 2001

To prove this, let's compute 2001 divided by 87: 2001 87 = 23

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 23 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 23

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 23
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 23 = 2001

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 23, the dividend is 2001.
