What value divided by 99 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 99 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 99 × 87 = 8613

To prove this, let's compute 8613 divided by 99: 8613 99 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 99 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 99 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 99: 99 x 99 = 99 × 87
  2. 99 x 99 is equivalent to 99 99 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 99 × 87 = 8613

So, if the divisor is 99 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 8613.
