What value divided by 28 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 28 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 28 × 17 = 476

To prove this, let's compute 476 divided by 28: 476 28 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 28 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 28 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 28: 28 x 28 = 28 × 17
  2. 28 x 28 is equivalent to 28 28 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 28 × 17 = 476

So, if the divisor is 28 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 476.
