What value divided by 87 equals 47?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 47?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 47 = 4089

To prove this, let's compute 4089 divided by 87: 4089 87 = 47

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 47 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 47

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 47
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 47 = 4089

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 47, the dividend is 4089.
