What value divided by 17 equals 53?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 53?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 53 = 901

To prove this, let's compute 901 divided by 17: 901 17 = 53

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 53 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 53

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 53
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 53 = 901

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 53, the dividend is 901.
