What value divided by 29 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 29 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 29 × 17 = 493

To prove this, let's compute 493 divided by 29: 493 29 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 29 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 29 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 29: 29 x 29 = 29 × 17
  2. 29 x 29 is equivalent to 29 29 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 29 × 17 = 493

So, if the divisor is 29 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 493.
