What value divided by 87 equals 73?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 73?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 73 = 6351

To prove this, let's compute 6351 divided by 87: 6351 87 = 73

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 73 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 73

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 73
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 73 = 6351

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 73, the dividend is 6351.
