What value divided by 27 equals 26?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 27 and the quotient 26?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 27 × 26 = 702

To prove this, let's compute 702 divided by 27: 702 27 = 26

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 27 gives a result of 26 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 27 = 26

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 27: 27 x 27 = 27 × 26
  2. 27 x 27 is equivalent to 27 27 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 27 × 26 = 702

So, if the divisor is 27 and the quotient is 26, the dividend is 702.
