What value divided by 56 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 56 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 56 × 17 = 952

To prove this, let's compute 952 divided by 56: 952 56 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 56 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 56 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 56: 56 x 56 = 56 × 17
  2. 56 x 56 is equivalent to 56 56 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 56 × 17 = 952

So, if the divisor is 56 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 952.
