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