What value divided by 87 equals 71?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 71?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 71 = 6177

To prove this, let's compute 6177 divided by 87: 6177 87 = 71

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 71 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 71

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 71
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 71 = 6177

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 71, the dividend is 6177.
