What value divided by 23 equals 85?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 23 and the quotient 85?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 23 × 85 = 1955

To prove this, let's compute 1955 divided by 23: 1955 23 = 85

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 23 gives a result of 85 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 23 = 85

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 23: 23 x 23 = 23 × 85
  2. 23 x 23 is equivalent to 23 23 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 23 × 85 = 1955

So, if the divisor is 23 and the quotient is 85, the dividend is 1955.
