What value divided by 87 equals 59?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 59?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 59 = 5133

To prove this, let's compute 5133 divided by 87: 5133 87 = 59

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 59 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 59

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 59
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 59 = 5133

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 59, the dividend is 5133.
