What value divided by 17 equals 17?

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

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 17 = 289

To prove this, let's compute 289 divided by 17: 289 17 = 17

How does it work?

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

x 17 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 17
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 17 = 289

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 289.
