What value divided by 13 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 13 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 13 × 17 = 221

To prove this, let's compute 221 divided by 13: 221 13 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 13 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 13 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 13: 13 x 13 = 13 × 17
  2. 13 x 13 is equivalent to 13 13 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 13 × 17 = 221

So, if the divisor is 13 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 221.
