What value divided by 87 equals 48?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 48?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 48 = 4176

To prove this, let's compute 4176 divided by 87: 4176 87 = 48

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 48 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 48

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 48
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 48 = 4176

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 48, the dividend is 4176.
