What value divided by 17 equals 23?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 23?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 23 = 391

To prove this, let's compute 391 divided by 17: 391 17 = 23

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 23 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 23

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 23
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 23 = 391

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 23, the dividend is 391.
