What value divided by 87 equals 82?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 82?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 82 = 7134

To prove this, let's compute 7134 divided by 87: 7134 87 = 82

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 82 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 82

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 82
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 82 = 7134

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 82, the dividend is 7134.
