What value divided by 87 equals 83?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 83?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 83 = 7221

To prove this, let's compute 7221 divided by 87: 7221 87 = 83

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 83 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 83

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 83
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 83 = 7221

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 83, the dividend is 7221.
