What value divided by 85 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 87 = 7395

To prove this, let's compute 7395 divided by 85: 7395 85 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 87
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 87 = 7395

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 7395.
