What value divided by 45 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 45 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 45 × 17 = 765

To prove this, let's compute 765 divided by 45: 765 45 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 45 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 45 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 45: 45 x 45 = 45 × 17
  2. 45 x 45 is equivalent to 45 45 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 45 × 17 = 765

So, if the divisor is 45 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 765.
