What value divided by 17 equals 31?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 31?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 31 = 527

To prove this, let's compute 527 divided by 17: 527 17 = 31

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 31 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 31

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 31
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 31 = 527

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 31, the dividend is 527.
