What value divided by 87 equals 33?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 33?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 33 = 2871

To prove this, let's compute 2871 divided by 87: 2871 87 = 33

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 33 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 33

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 33
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 33 = 2871

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 33, the dividend is 2871.
