What value divided by 85 equals 16?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 16?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 16 = 1360

To prove this, let's compute 1360 divided by 85: 1360 85 = 16

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 16 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 16

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 16
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 16 = 1360

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 16, the dividend is 1360.
