What value divided by 81 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 81 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 81 × 17 = 1377

To prove this, let's compute 1377 divided by 81: 1377 81 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 81 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 81 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 81: 81 x 81 = 81 × 17
  2. 81 x 81 is equivalent to 81 81 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 81 × 17 = 1377

So, if the divisor is 81 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 1377.
