What value divided by 55 equals 12?

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

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

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

How does it work?

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

x 55 = 12

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

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