What value divided by 17 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 40 = 680

To prove this, let's compute 680 divided by 17: 680 17 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 40
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 40 = 680

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 680.
