What value divided by 85 equals 86?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 86?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 86 = 7310

To prove this, let's compute 7310 divided by 85: 7310 85 = 86

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 86 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 86

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 86
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 86 = 7310

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 86, the dividend is 7310.
