What value divided by 85 equals 71?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 71?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 71 = 6035

To prove this, let's compute 6035 divided by 85: 6035 85 = 71

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 71 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 71

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 71
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 71 = 6035

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 71, the dividend is 6035.
