What value divided by 74 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 74 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 74 × 17 = 1258

To prove this, let's compute 1258 divided by 74: 1258 74 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 74 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 74 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 74: 74 x 74 = 74 × 17
  2. 74 x 74 is equivalent to 74 74 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 74 × 17 = 1258

So, if the divisor is 74 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 1258.
