What value divided by 27 equals 60?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 27 and the quotient 60?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 27 × 60 = 1620
To prove this, let's compute 1620 divided by 27:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 27 gives a result of 60 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 27:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 27 and the quotient is 60, the dividend is 1620.
