What value divided by 9 equals 3?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 9 and the quotient 3?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 9 × 3 = 27

To prove this, let's compute 27 divided by 9: 27 9 = 3

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 9 gives a result of 3 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 9 = 3

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 9: 9 x 9 = 9 × 3
  2. 9 x 9 is equivalent to 9 9 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 9 × 3 = 27

So, if the divisor is 9 and the quotient is 3, the dividend is 27.
