What value divided by 17 equals 97?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 17 and the quotient 97?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 17 × 97 = 1649

To prove this, let's compute 1649 divided by 17: 1649 17 = 97

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 17 gives a result of 97 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 17 = 97

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 17: 17 x 17 = 17 × 97
  2. 17 x 17 is equivalent to 17 17 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 17 × 97 = 1649

So, if the divisor is 17 and the quotient is 97, the dividend is 1649.
