What value divided by 17 equals 77?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 77?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 77 = 1309

To prove this, let's compute 1309 divided by 17: 1309 17 = 77

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 77 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 77

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 77
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 77 = 1309

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 77, the dividend is 1309.
