What value divided by 55 equals 5?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 55 and the quotient 5?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 55 × 5 = 275

To prove this, let's compute 275 divided by 55: 275 55 = 5

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 55 gives a result of 5 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 55 = 5

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 55: 55 x 55 = 55 × 5
  2. 55 x 55 is equivalent to 55 55 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 55 × 5 = 275

So, if the divisor is 55 and the quotient is 5, the dividend is 275.
