What value divided by 87 equals 78?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 78?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 78 = 6786

To prove this, let's compute 6786 divided by 87: 6786 87 = 78

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 78 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 78

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 78
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 78 = 6786

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 78, the dividend is 6786.
