What value divided by 87 equals 61?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 61?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 61 = 5307

To prove this, let's compute 5307 divided by 87: 5307 87 = 61

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 61 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 61

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 61
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 61 = 5307

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 61, the dividend is 5307.
