What value divided by 17 equals 14?

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

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

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

How does it work?

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

x 17 = 14

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

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