What value divided by 27 equals 12?

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

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

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

How does it work?

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

x 27 = 12

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

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