What value divided by 15 equals 27?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 15 and the quotient 27?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 15 × 27 = 405

To prove this, let's compute 405 divided by 15: 405 15 = 27

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 15 gives a result of 27 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 15 = 27

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 15: 15 x 15 = 15 × 27
  2. 15 x 15 is equivalent to 15 15 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 15 × 27 = 405

So, if the divisor is 15 and the quotient is 27, the dividend is 405.
