What value divided by 55 equals 47?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 55 and the quotient 47?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 55 × 47 = 2585

To prove this, let's compute 2585 divided by 55: 2585 55 = 47

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 55 gives a result of 47 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 55 = 47

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 55: 55 x 55 = 55 × 47
  2. 55 x 55 is equivalent to 55 55 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 55 × 47 = 2585

So, if the divisor is 55 and the quotient is 47, the dividend is 2585.
