What value divided by 85 equals 84?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 84?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 84 = 7140

To prove this, let's compute 7140 divided by 85: 7140 85 = 84

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 84 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 84

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 84
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 84 = 7140

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 84, the dividend is 7140.
