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