What value divided by 20 equals 27?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 20 and the quotient 27?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 20 × 27 = 540

To prove this, let's compute 540 divided by 20: 540 20 = 27

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 20 gives a result of 27 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 20 = 27

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 20: 20 x 20 = 20 × 27
  2. 20 x 20 is equivalent to 20 20 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 20 × 27 = 540

So, if the divisor is 20 and the quotient is 27, the dividend is 540.
