What value divided by 27 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 27 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 27 × 17 = 459

To prove this, let's compute 459 divided by 27: 459 27 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 27 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 27 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 27: 27 x 27 = 27 × 17
  2. 27 x 27 is equivalent to 27 27 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 27 × 17 = 459

So, if the divisor is 27 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 459.
