What value divided by 17 equals 48?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 48?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 48 = 816

To prove this, let's compute 816 divided by 17: 816 17 = 48

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 48 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 48

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 48
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 48 = 816

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 48, the dividend is 816.
