What value divided by 31 equals 86?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 31 and the quotient 86?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 31 × 86 = 2666

To prove this, let's compute 2666 divided by 31: 2666 31 = 86

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 31 gives a result of 86 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 31 = 86

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 31: 31 x 31 = 31 × 86
  2. 31 x 31 is equivalent to 31 31 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 31 × 86 = 2666

So, if the divisor is 31 and the quotient is 86, the dividend is 2666.
