What value divided by 18 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 18 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 18 × 17 = 306

To prove this, let's compute 306 divided by 18: 306 18 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 18 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 18 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 18: 18 x 18 = 18 × 17
  2. 18 x 18 is equivalent to 18 18 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 18 × 17 = 306

So, if the divisor is 18 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 306.
