What value divided by 85 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 72 = 6120

To prove this, let's compute 6120 divided by 85: 6120 85 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 72
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 72 = 6120

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 6120.
