What value divided by 87 equals 27?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 27?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 27 = 2349

To prove this, let's compute 2349 divided by 87: 2349 87 = 27

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 27 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 27

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 27
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 27 = 2349

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 27, the dividend is 2349.
