What value divided by 17 equals 18?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 18?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 18 = 306

To prove this, let's compute 306 divided by 17: 306 17 = 18

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 18 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 18

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 18
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 18 = 306

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 18, the dividend is 306.
