What value divided by 85 equals 56?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 56?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 56 = 4760

To prove this, let's compute 4760 divided by 85: 4760 85 = 56

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 56 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 56

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 56
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 56 = 4760

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 56, the dividend is 4760.
