What value divided by 97 equals 17?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 97 × 17 = 1649

To prove this, let's compute 1649 divided by 97: $\frac{1649}{97} = 17$

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 97 gives a result of 17 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{x}{97} = 17$

We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 97: $\frac{97 x}{97} = 97 \times 17$
$\frac{97 x}{97}$ is equivalent to $\frac{97}{97} x$ , which simplifies to $1 x$ (or just $x$ ).
Thus: $x = 97 \times 17 = 1649$

So, if the divisor is 97 and the quotient is 17, the dividend is 1649.
