What value divided by 87 equals 55?

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

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

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

How does it work?

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

x 87 = 55

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

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