What value divided by 17 equals 79?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 79?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 79 = 1343

To prove this, let's compute 1343 divided by 17: 1343 17 = 79

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 79 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 79

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 79
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 79 = 1343

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 79, the dividend is 1343.
