What value divided by 18 equals 27?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 18 and the quotient 27?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 18 × 27 = 486
To prove this, let's compute 486 divided by 18:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 18 gives a result of 27 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 18:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 18 and the quotient is 27, the dividend is 486.
