What value divided by 8 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 8 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 8 × 17 = 136

To prove this, let's compute 136 divided by 8: 136 8 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 8 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 8 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 8: 8 x 8 = 8 × 17
  2. 8 x 8 is equivalent to 8 8 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 8 × 17 = 136

So, if the divisor is 8 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 136.
