What value divided by 100 equals 17?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 100 and the quotient 17?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 100 × 17 = 1700
To prove this, let's compute 1700 divided by 100:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 100 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 100:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 100 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 1700.
