What value divided by 23 equals 55?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 23 and the quotient 55?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 23 × 55 = 1265

To prove this, let's compute 1265 divided by 23: 1265 23 = 55

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 23 gives a result of 55 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 23 = 55

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 23: 23 x 23 = 23 × 55
  2. 23 x 23 is equivalent to 23 23 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 23 × 55 = 1265

So, if the divisor is 23 and the quotient is 55, the dividend is 1265.
