What value divided by 17 equals 50?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 50?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 50 = 850

To prove this, let's compute 850 divided by 17: 850 17 = 50

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 50 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 50

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 50
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 50 = 850

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 50, the dividend is 850.
