What value divided by 10 equals 27?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 10 and the quotient 27?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 10 × 27 = 270
To prove this, let's compute 270 divided by 10:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 10 gives a result of 27 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 10:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 10 and the quotient is 27, the dividend is 270.
