What value divided by 85 equals 79?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 79?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 79 = 6715

To prove this, let's compute 6715 divided by 85: 6715 85 = 79

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 79 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 79

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 79
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 79 = 6715

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 79, the dividend is 6715.
