What value divided by 36 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 36 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 36 × 17 = 612

To prove this, let's compute 612 divided by 36: 612 36 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 36 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 36 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 36: 36 x 36 = 36 × 17
  2. 36 x 36 is equivalent to 36 36 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 36 × 17 = 612

So, if the divisor is 36 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 612.
