What value divided by 85 equals 97?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 85 and the quotient 97?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 85 × 97 = 8245

To prove this, let's compute 8245 divided by 85: 8245 85 = 97

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 85 gives a result of 97 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 85 = 97

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 85: 85 x 85 = 85 × 97
  2. 85 x 85 is equivalent to 85 85 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 85 × 97 = 8245

So, if the divisor is 85 and the quotient is 97, the dividend is 8245.
