What value divided by 85 equals 83?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 83?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 83 = 7055

To prove this, let's compute 7055 divided by 85: 7055 85 = 83

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 83 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 83

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 83
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 83 = 7055

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 83, the dividend is 7055.
