What value divided by 38 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 38 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 38 × 17 = 646

To prove this, let's compute 646 divided by 38: 646 38 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 38 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 38 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 38: 38 x 38 = 38 × 17
  2. 38 x 38 is equivalent to 38 38 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 38 × 17 = 646

So, if the divisor is 38 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 646.
