What value divided by 16 equals 85?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 85?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 85 = 1360

To prove this, let's compute 1360 divided by 16: 1360 16 = 85

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 85 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 16 = 85

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 16: 16 x 16 = 16 × 85
  2. 16 x 16 is equivalent to 16 16 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 16 × 85 = 1360

So, if the divisor is 16 and the quotient is 85, the dividend is 1360.
