What value divided by 10 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 10 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 10 × 17 = 170

To prove this, let's compute 170 divided by 10: 170 10 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 10 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 10 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 10: 10 x 10 = 10 × 17
  2. 10 x 10 is equivalent to 10 10 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 10 × 17 = 170

So, if the divisor is 10 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 170.
