What value divided by 66 equals 17?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 66 and the quotient 17?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 66 × 17 = 1122
To prove this, let's compute 1122 divided by 66:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 66 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 66:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 66 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 1122.
