What value divided by 71 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 71 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 71 × 17 = 1207

To prove this, let's compute 1207 divided by 71: 1207 71 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 71 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 71 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 71: 71 x 71 = 71 × 17
  2. 71 x 71 is equivalent to 71 71 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 71 × 17 = 1207

So, if the divisor is 71 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 1207.
