What value divided by 27 equals 40?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 27 and the quotient 40?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 27 × 40 = 1080

To prove this, let's compute 1080 divided by 27: 1080 27 = 40

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 27 gives a result of 40 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 27 = 40

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 27: 27 x 27 = 27 × 40
  2. 27 x 27 is equivalent to 27 27 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 27 × 40 = 1080

So, if the divisor is 27 and the quotient is 40, the dividend is 1080.
