What value divided by 87 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 40 = 3480

To prove this, let's compute 3480 divided by 87: 3480 87 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 40
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 40 = 3480

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 3480.
