What value divided by 14 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 14 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 14 × 17 = 238

To prove this, let's compute 238 divided by 14: 238 14 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 14 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 14 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 14: 14 x 14 = 14 × 17
  2. 14 x 14 is equivalent to 14 14 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 14 × 17 = 238

So, if the divisor is 14 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 238.
