27 x 100 = 2700
27 times 100 is 2700. Multiplying by 100 moves each digit two places to the left, so 27 picks up two zeros. The working, what 2700 counts, and a live calculator are below.
27 × 100 = 2,700
Adding 27 to itself 100 times gives the same answer.
27 x 100 = 2700
Two zeros land on the end of 27, giving 2,700. Twenty-seven hundred and two thousand seven hundred are the same number.
27 is a cube, and that carries over
27 is 3 x 3 x 3, so 2700 is 3 cubed times 100. Written fully in primes it is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5. Because the digits of 27 add to 9, both 27 and 2700 divide cleanly by 9, and 2700 divided by 9 is 300.
Where 2700 turns up
- 2700 seconds is exactly 45 minutes.
- 2700 K is the warm-white colour temperature printed on soft-white bulbs.
- 2700 is not a square number. The nearest one is 52 x 52 = 2704, only four above it.
Near misses and neighbours
- 27 x 10 is 270. The zeros come from the multiplier, so count them there.
- 25 x 100 = 2500 and 30 x 100 = 3000 sit either side of it.
- 24 x 100 = 2400 is three steps down.
