What value divided by 17 equals 55?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 55?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 55 = 935

To prove this, let's compute 935 divided by 17: 935 17 = 55

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 55 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 55

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 55
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 55 = 935

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 55, the dividend is 935.
