What value divided by 86 equals 1?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 86 and the quotient 1?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 86 × 1 = 86

To prove this, let's compute 86 divided by 86: 86 86 = 1

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 86 gives a result of 1 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 86 = 1

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

So, if the divisor is 86 and the quotient is 1, the dividend is 86.
