What value divided by 17 equals 56?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 56?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 56 = 952

To prove this, let's compute 952 divided by 17: 952 17 = 56

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 56 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 56

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 56
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 56 = 952

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 56, the dividend is 952.
