What value divided by 27 equals 5?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 27 and the quotient 5?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 27 × 5 = 135

To prove this, let's compute 135 divided by 27: 135 27 = 5

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 27 gives a result of 5 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 27 = 5

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 27: 27 x 27 = 27 × 5
  2. 27 x 27 is equivalent to 27 27 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 27 × 5 = 135

So, if the divisor is 27 and the quotient is 5, the dividend is 135.
