What Divided By 17 Equals 668

Solving What Divided by 17 Equals 668

Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:

$\frac{x}{17}=668$

The goal of the problem is to solve for $x$. To do this we need to change the equation so that $x$ is alone on one side of the equation. In this case, we can do that by multiplying both sides of the equation by $17$, resulting in this equation:

$x = 668 \times 17$

Then we simplify and find our answer:

$x = 11356$

So, the answer to the question “What divided by $17$ equals $668$?” is $11356$. To prove this, we can take the original problem:

$\frac{x}{17} = 668$

And insert $11356$ in the place of $x$:

$\frac{11356}{17} = 668$

Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
