What value divided by 17 equals 12?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 12?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 12 = 204

To prove this, let's compute 204 divided by 17: 204 17 = 12

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 12 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 12

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 12
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 12 = 204

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 12, the dividend is 204.
