What value divided by 24 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 24 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 24 × 17 = 408

To prove this, let's compute 408 divided by 24: 408 24 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 24 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 24 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 24: 24 x 24 = 24 × 17
  2. 24 x 24 is equivalent to 24 24 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 24 × 17 = 408

So, if the divisor is 24 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 408.
