What value divided by 87 equals 28?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 28?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 28 = 2436

To prove this, let's compute 2436 divided by 87: 2436 87 = 28

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 28 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 28

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 28
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 28 = 2436

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 28, the dividend is 2436.
