What value divided by 31 equals 85?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 31 and the quotient 85?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 31 × 85 = 2635
To prove this, let's compute 2635 divided by 31:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 31 gives a result of 85 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 31:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 31 and the quotient is 85, the dividend is 2635.
