What value divided by 17 equals 65?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 65?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 65 = 1105
To prove this, let's compute 1105 divided by 17:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 65 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 65, the dividend is 1105.
