What value divided by 17 equals 74?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 74?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 74 = 1258

To prove this, let's compute 1258 divided by 17: 1258 17 = 74

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 74 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 74

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 74
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 74 = 1258

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 74, the dividend is 1258.
