What value divided by 85 equals 74?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 74?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 74 = 6290

To prove this, let's compute 6290 divided by 85: 6290 85 = 74

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 74 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 74

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 74
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 74 = 6290

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 74, the dividend is 6290.
