What value divided by 51 equals 27?
In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 51 and the quotient 27?
To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 51 × 27 = 1377
To prove this, let's compute 1377 divided by 51:
How does it work?
Asking which value divided by 51 gives a result of 27 is equivalent to solving the following equation:
- We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 51:
- is equivalent to , which simplifies to (or just ).
- Thus:
So, if the divisor is 51 and the quotient is 27, the dividend is 1377.
