What value divided by 17 equals 38?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 38?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 38 = 646

To prove this, let's compute 646 divided by 17: 646 17 = 38

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 38 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 38

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 38
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 38 = 646

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 38, the dividend is 646.
