What value divided by 17 equals 28?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 28?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 28 = 476

To prove this, let's compute 476 divided by 17: 476 17 = 28

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 28 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 28

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 28
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 28 = 476

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 28, the dividend is 476.
