What value divided by 87 equals 74?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 74?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 74 = 6438

To prove this, let's compute 6438 divided by 87: 6438 87 = 74

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 74 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 74

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 74
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 74 = 6438

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 74, the dividend is 6438.
