What value divided by 85 equals 82?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 82?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 82 = 6970

To prove this, let's compute 6970 divided by 85: 6970 85 = 82

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 82 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 82

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 82
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 82 = 6970

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 82, the dividend is 6970.
