What value divided by 55 equals 78?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 55 and the quotient 78?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 55 × 78 = 4290

To prove this, let's compute 4290 divided by 55: 4290 55 = 78

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 55 gives a result of 78 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 55 = 78

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 55: 55 x 55 = 55 × 78
  2. 55 x 55 is equivalent to 55 55 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 55 × 78 = 4290

So, if the divisor is 55 and the quotient is 78, the dividend is 4290.
