What value divided by 27 equals 20?

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

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

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

How does it work?

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

x 27 = 20

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

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