What value divided by 75 equals 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 75 × 17 = 1275

To prove this, let's compute 1275 divided by 75: $\frac{1275}{75} = 17$

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 75 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{x}{75} = 17$

We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 75: $\frac{75 x}{75} = 75 \times 17$
$\frac{75 x}{75}$ is equivalent to $\frac{75}{75} x$ , which simplifies to $1 x$ (or just $x$ ).
Thus: $x = 75 \times 17 = 1275$

So, if the divisor is 75 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 1275.
