What value divided by 17 equals 83?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 83?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 83 = 1411

To prove this, let's compute 1411 divided by 17: 1411 17 = 83

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 83 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 83

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 83
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 83 = 1411

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 83, the dividend is 1411.
