What value divided by 83 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 83 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 83 × 17 = 1411

To prove this, let's compute 1411 divided by 83: 1411 83 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 83 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 83 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 83: 83 x 83 = 83 × 17
  2. 83 x 83 is equivalent to 83 83 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 83 × 17 = 1411

So, if the divisor is 83 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 1411.
