What value divided by 84 equals 17?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 84 and the quotient 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 84 × 17 = 1428

To prove this, let's compute 1428 divided by 84: 1428 84 = 17

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 84 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 84 = 17

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 84: 84 x 84 = 84 × 17
  2. 84 x 84 is equivalent to 84 84 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 84 × 17 = 1428

So, if the divisor is 84 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 1428.
