What value divided by 12 equals 55?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 55?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 55 = 660

To prove this, let's compute 660 divided by 12: 660 12 = 55

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 55 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 55

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 55
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 55 = 660

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 55, the dividend is 660.
