What value divided by 11 equals 17?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 11 and the quotient 17?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 11 × 17 = 187
To prove this, let's compute 187 divided by 11:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 11 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 11:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 11 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 187.
