What value divided by 10 equals 55?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 10 and the quotient 55?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 10 × 55 = 550

To prove this, let's compute 550 divided by 10: 550 10 = 55

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 10 gives a result of 55 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 10 = 55

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 10: 10 x 10 = 10 × 55
  2. 10 x 10 is equivalent to 10 10 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 10 × 55 = 550

So, if the divisor is 10 and the quotient is 55, the dividend is 550.
