What value divided by 27 equals 36?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 27 and the quotient 36?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 27 × 36 = 972

To prove this, let's compute 972 divided by 27: 972 27 = 36

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 27 gives a result of 36 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 27 = 36

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 27: 27 x 27 = 27 × 36
  2. 27 x 27 is equivalent to 27 27 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 27 × 36 = 972

So, if the divisor is 27 and the quotient is 36, the dividend is 972.
