What value divided by 27 equals 18?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 27 and the quotient 18?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 27 × 18 = 486

To prove this, let's compute 486 divided by 27: 486 27 = 18

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 27 gives a result of 18 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 27 = 18

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 27: 27 x 27 = 27 × 18
  2. 27 x 27 is equivalent to 27 27 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 27 × 18 = 486

So, if the divisor is 27 and the quotient is 18, the dividend is 486.
