What value divided by 27 equals 42?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 27 and the quotient 42?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 27 × 42 = 1134

To prove this, let's compute 1134 divided by 27: 1134 27 = 42

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 27 gives a result of 42 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 27 = 42

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 27: 27 x 27 = 27 × 42
  2. 27 x 27 is equivalent to 27 27 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 27 × 42 = 1134

So, if the divisor is 27 and the quotient is 42, the dividend is 1134.
