What value divided by 20 equals 86?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 20 and the quotient 86?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 20 × 86 = 1720

To prove this, let's compute 1720 divided by 20: 1720 20 = 86

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 20 gives a result of 86 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 20 = 86

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 20: 20 x 20 = 20 × 86
  2. 20 x 20 is equivalent to 20 20 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 20 × 86 = 1720

So, if the divisor is 20 and the quotient is 86, the dividend is 1720.
