What value divided by 65 equals 17?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 65 and the quotient 17?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 65 × 17 = 1105
To prove this, let's compute 1105 divided by 65:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 65 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 65:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 65 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 1105.
