What value divided by 16 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 16 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 16 × 17 = 272

To prove this, let's compute 272 divided by 16: 272 16 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 16 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 16 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 16: 16 x 16 = 16 × 17
  2. 16 x 16 is equivalent to 16 16 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 16 × 17 = 272

So, if the divisor is 16 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 272.
