What value divided by 17 equals 47?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 47?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 47 = 799

To prove this, let's compute 799 divided by 17: 799 17 = 47

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 47 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 47

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 47
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 47 = 799

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 47, the dividend is 799.
