To find the number of neutrons in an atom, you can use the following formula:
\[
\text{Number of Neutrons} = \text{Mass Number} - \text{Atomic Number}
\]
You provided the atomic number (13) and the mass number (27). Plugging these values into the formula gives:
\[
\text{Number of Neutrons} = 27 - 13 = 14
\]
Therefore, the number of neutrons in the atom is **14**.
