What value divided by 17 equals 84?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 84?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 84 = 1428

To prove this, let's compute 1428 divided by 17: 1428 17 = 84

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 84 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 84

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 84
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 84 = 1428

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 84, the dividend is 1428.
