What value divided by 18 equals 85?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 18 and the quotient 85?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 18 × 85 = 1530

To prove this, let's compute 1530 divided by 18: 1530 18 = 85

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 18 gives a result of 85 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 18 = 85

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 18: 18 x 18 = 18 × 85
  2. 18 x 18 is equivalent to 18 18 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 18 × 85 = 1530

So, if the divisor is 18 and the quotient is 85, the dividend is 1530.
