What value divided by 55 equals 17?

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

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

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

How does it work?

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

x 55 = 17

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

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