What value divided by 25 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 25 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 25 × 17 = 425

To prove this, let's compute 425 divided by 25: 425 25 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 25 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 25 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 25: 25 x 25 = 25 × 17
  2. 25 x 25 is equivalent to 25 25 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 25 × 17 = 425

So, if the divisor is 25 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 425.
