What value divided by 5 equals 86?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 5 and the quotient 86?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 5 × 86 = 430

To prove this, let's compute 430 divided by 5: 430 5 = 86

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 5 gives a result of 86 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 5 = 86

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 5: 5 x 5 = 5 × 86
  2. 5 x 5 is equivalent to 5 5 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 5 × 86 = 430

So, if the divisor is 5 and the quotient is 86, the dividend is 430.
