What value divided by 87 equals 56?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 56?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 56 = 4872

To prove this, let's compute 4872 divided by 87: 4872 87 = 56

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 56 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 56

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 56
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 56 = 4872

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 56, the dividend is 4872.
