What value divided by 87 equals 36?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 36?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 36 = 3132

To prove this, let's compute 3132 divided by 87: 3132 87 = 36

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 36 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 36

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 36
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 36 = 3132

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 36, the dividend is 3132.
