What value divided by 17 equals 34?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 34?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 34 = 578
To prove this, let's compute 578 divided by 17:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 34 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 34, the dividend is 578.
