What value divided by 85 equals 59?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 59?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 59 = 5015

To prove this, let's compute 5015 divided by 85: 5015 85 = 59

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 59 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 59

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 59
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 59 = 5015

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 59, the dividend is 5015.
