What value divided by 83 equals 85?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 83 and the quotient 85?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 83 × 85 = 7055

To prove this, let's compute 7055 divided by 83: 7055 83 = 85

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 83 gives a result of 85 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 83 = 85

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 83: 83 x 83 = 83 × 85
  2. 83 x 83 is equivalent to 83 83 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 83 × 85 = 7055

So, if the divisor is 83 and the quotient is 85, the dividend is 7055.
