What value divided by 17 equals 78?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 78?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 78 = 1326

To prove this, let's compute 1326 divided by 17: 1326 17 = 78

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 78 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 78

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 78
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 78 = 1326

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 78, the dividend is 1326.
