What value divided by 50 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 50 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 50 × 17 = 850

To prove this, let's compute 850 divided by 50: 850 50 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 50 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 50 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 50: 50 x 50 = 50 × 17
  2. 50 x 50 is equivalent to 50 50 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 50 × 17 = 850

So, if the divisor is 50 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 850.
