What value divided by 17 equals 51?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 51?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 51 = 867

To prove this, let's compute 867 divided by 17: 867 17 = 51

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 51 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 51

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 51
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 51 = 867

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 51, the dividend is 867.
