What value divided by 90 equals 86?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 90 and the quotient 86?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 90 × 86 = 7740
To prove this, let's compute 7740 divided by 90:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 90 gives a result of 86 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 90:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 90 and the quotient is 86, the dividend is 7740.
