What value divided by 12 equals 27?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 12 and the quotient 27?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 12 × 27 = 324

To prove this, let's compute 324 divided by 12: 324 12 = 27

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 12 gives a result of 27 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 12 = 27

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 12: 12 x 12 = 12 × 27
  2. 12 x 12 is equivalent to 12 12 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 12 × 27 = 324

So, if the divisor is 12 and the quotient is 27, the dividend is 324.
