What value divided by 17 equals 24?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 24?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 24 = 408

To prove this, let's compute 408 divided by 17: 408 17 = 24

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 24 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 24

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 24
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 24 = 408

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 24, the dividend is 408.
