What value divided by 83 equals 82?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 83 and the quotient 82?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 83 × 82 = 6806

To prove this, let's compute 6806 divided by 83: 6806 83 = 82

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 83 gives a result of 82 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 83 = 82

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 83: 83 x 83 = 83 × 82
  2. 83 x 83 is equivalent to 83 83 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 83 × 82 = 6806

So, if the divisor is 83 and the quotient is 82, the dividend is 6806.
