What value divided by 17 equals 20?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 20?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 20 = 340

To prove this, let's compute 340 divided by 17: 340 17 = 20

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 20 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 20

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 20
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 20 = 340

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 20, the dividend is 340.
