What value divided by 17 equals 3?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 3?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 3 = 51

To prove this, let's compute 51 divided by 17: 51 17 = 3

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 3 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 3

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 3
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 3 = 51

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 3, the dividend is 51.
