What value divided by 17 equals 26?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 26?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 26 = 442

To prove this, let's compute 442 divided by 17: 442 17 = 26

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 26 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 26

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 26
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 26 = 442

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 26, the dividend is 442.
