What value divided by 61 equals 17?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 61 and the quotient 17?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 61 × 17 = 1037
To prove this, let's compute 1037 divided by 61:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 61 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 61:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 61 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 1037.
