What value divided by 20 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 20 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 20 × 17 = 340

To prove this, let's compute 340 divided by 20: 340 20 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 20 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 20 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 20: 20 x 20 = 20 × 17
  2. 20 x 20 is equivalent to 20 20 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 20 × 17 = 340

So, if the divisor is 20 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 340.
