What value divided by 85 equals 47?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 47?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 47 = 3995

To prove this, let's compute 3995 divided by 85: 3995 85 = 47

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 47 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 47

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 47
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 47 = 3995

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 47, the dividend is 3995.
