What value divided by 27 equals 15?

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

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

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

How does it work?

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

x 27 = 15

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

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