What value divided by 15 equals 86?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 86?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 86 = 1290

To prove this, let's compute 1290 divided by 15: 1290 15 = 86

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 86 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 86

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 86
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 86 = 1290

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 86, the dividend is 1290.
