What value divided by 86 equals 20?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 86 and the quotient 20?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 86 × 20 = 1720

To prove this, let's compute 1720 divided by 86: 1720 86 = 20

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 86 gives a result of 20 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 86 = 20

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 86: 86 x 86 = 86 × 20
  2. 86 x 86 is equivalent to 86 86 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 86 × 20 = 1720

So, if the divisor is 86 and the quotient is 20, the dividend is 1720.
