What value divided by 87 equals 57?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 57?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 57 = 4959

To prove this, let's compute 4959 divided by 87: 4959 87 = 57

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 57 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 57

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 57
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 57 = 4959

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 57, the dividend is 4959.
