What value divided by 27 equals 16?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 27 and the quotient 16?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 27 × 16 = 432

To prove this, let's compute 432 divided by 27: 432 27 = 16

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 27 gives a result of 16 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 27 = 16

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 27: 27 x 27 = 27 × 16
  2. 27 x 27 is equivalent to 27 27 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 27 × 16 = 432

So, if the divisor is 27 and the quotient is 16, the dividend is 432.
