What value divided by 17 equals 21?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 21?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 21 = 357

To prove this, let's compute 357 divided by 17: 357 17 = 21

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 21 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 21

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 21
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 21 = 357

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 21, the dividend is 357.
