What value divided by 87 equals 86?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 87 and the quotient 86?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 87 × 86 = 7482

To prove this, let's compute 7482 divided by 87: 7482 87 = 86

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 87 gives a result of 86 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 87 = 86

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 87: 87 x 87 = 87 × 86
  2. 87 x 87 is equivalent to 87 87 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 87 × 86 = 7482

So, if the divisor is 87 and the quotient is 86, the dividend is 7482.
