What value divided by 10 equals 85?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 10 and the quotient 85?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 10 × 85 = 850

To prove this, let's compute 850 divided by 10: 850 10 = 85

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 10 gives a result of 85 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 10 = 85

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 10: 10 x 10 = 10 × 85
  2. 10 x 10 is equivalent to 10 10 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 10 × 85 = 850

So, if the divisor is 10 and the quotient is 85, the dividend is 850.
