What value divided by 85 equals 2?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 2?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 2 = 170

To prove this, let's compute 170 divided by 85: 170 85 = 2

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 2 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 2

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 2
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 2 = 170

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 2, the dividend is 170.
