What value divided by 17 equals 75?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 75?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 75 = 1275

To prove this, let's compute 1275 divided by 17: 1275 17 = 75

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 75 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 75

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 75
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 75 = 1275

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 75, the dividend is 1275.
