What value divided by 31 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 31 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 31 × 17 = 527

To prove this, let's compute 527 divided by 31: 527 31 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 31 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 31 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 31: 31 x 31 = 31 × 17
  2. 31 x 31 is equivalent to 31 31 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 31 × 17 = 527

So, if the divisor is 31 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 527.
