What value divided by 17 equals 71?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 71?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 71 = 1207

To prove this, let's compute 1207 divided by 17: 1207 17 = 71

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 71 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 71

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 71
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 71 = 1207

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 71, the dividend is 1207.
