What value divided by 17 equals 59?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 59?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 59 = 1003

To prove this, let's compute 1003 divided by 17: 1003 17 = 59

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 59 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 59

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 59
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 59 = 1003

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 59, the dividend is 1003.
