What value divided by 17 equals 29?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 29?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 29 = 493

To prove this, let's compute 493 divided by 17: 493 17 = 29

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 29 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 29

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 29
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 29 = 493

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 29, the dividend is 493.
