What value divided by 85 equals 18?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 18?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 18 = 1530

To prove this, let's compute 1530 divided by 85: 1530 85 = 18

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 18 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 18

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 18
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 18 = 1530

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 18, the dividend is 1530.
