What value divided by 17 equals 58?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 58?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 58 = 986

To prove this, let's compute 986 divided by 17: 986 17 = 58

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 58 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 58

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 58
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 58 = 986

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 58, the dividend is 986.
