What value divided by 17 equals 27?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 27?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 27 = 459

To prove this, let's compute 459 divided by 17: 459 17 = 27

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 27 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 27

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 27
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 27 = 459

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 27, the dividend is 459.
