What value divided by 55 equals 21?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 55 and the quotient 21?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 55 × 21 = 1155

To prove this, let's compute 1155 divided by 55: 1155 55 = 21

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 55 gives a result of 21 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 55 = 21

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 55: 55 x 55 = 55 × 21
  2. 55 x 55 is equivalent to 55 55 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 55 × 21 = 1155

So, if the divisor is 55 and the quotient is 21, the dividend is 1155.
