What value divided by 15 equals 85?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 85?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 85 = 1275

To prove this, let's compute 1275 divided by 15: 1275 15 = 85

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 85 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 85

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 85
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 85 = 1275

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 85, the dividend is 1275.
