What value divided by 55 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 55 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 55 × 87 = 4785

To prove this, let's compute 4785 divided by 55: 4785 55 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 55 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 55 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 55: 55 x 55 = 55 × 87
  2. 55 x 55 is equivalent to 55 55 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 55 × 87 = 4785

So, if the divisor is 55 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 4785.
