What value divided by 83 equals 79?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 83 and the quotient 79?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 83 × 79 = 6557

To prove this, let's compute 6557 divided by 83: 6557 83 = 79

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 83 gives a result of 79 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 83 = 79

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 83: 83 x 83 = 83 × 79
  2. 83 x 83 is equivalent to 83 83 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 83 × 79 = 6557

So, if the divisor is 83 and the quotient is 79, the dividend is 6557.
