What value divided by 14 equals 55?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 14 and the quotient 55?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 14 × 55 = 770
To prove this, let's compute 770 divided by 14:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 14 gives a result of 55 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 14:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 14 and the quotient is 55, the dividend is 770.
