What value divided by 17 equals 13?

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

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

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

How does it work?

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

x 17 = 13

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

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