What value divided by 51 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 51 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 51 × 17 = 867

To prove this, let's compute 867 divided by 51: 867 51 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 51 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 51 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 51: 51 x 51 = 51 × 17
  2. 51 x 51 is equivalent to 51 51 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 51 × 17 = 867

So, if the divisor is 51 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 867.
