What value divided by 87 equals 79?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 79?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 79 = 6873

To prove this, let's compute 6873 divided by 87: 6873 87 = 79

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 79 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 79

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 79
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 79 = 6873

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 79, the dividend is 6873.
