What value divided by 17 equals 36?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 36?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 36 = 612

To prove this, let's compute 612 divided by 17: 612 17 = 36

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 36 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 36

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 36
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 36 = 612

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 36, the dividend is 612.
