What value divided by 70 equals 17?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 70 and the quotient 17?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 70 × 17 = 1190
To prove this, let's compute 1190 divided by 70:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 70 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 70:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 70 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 1190.
