What is x when 12 divided by x equals 67?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 12 and the quotient 67?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 12 ÷ 67 = 0.17910447761194

To prove this, let's compute 12 divided by 0.17910447761194: 12 0.17910447761194 = 67

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 12 divided by x gives a result of 67, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

12 x = 67

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 12 x x = 67 x
  2. 12 x x is equivalent to x x × 12 , which simplifies to 1 × 12 (or just 12 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 12 = 67 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 67: 12 67 = 67 x 67
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.17910447761194 = x (or x = 0.17910447761194 )

So, if the dividend is 12 and the quotient is 67, the divisor is 0.17910447761194.
