What is x when 20 divided by x equals 67?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 20 and the quotient 67?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 20 ÷ 67 = 0.29850746268657

To prove this, let's compute 20 divided by 0.29850746268657: 20 0.29850746268657 = 67

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 20 divided by x gives a result of 67, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

20 x = 67

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 20 x x = 67 x
  2. 20 x x is equivalent to x x × 20 , which simplifies to 1 × 20 (or just 20 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 20 = 67 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 67: 20 67 = 67 x 67
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.29850746268657 = x (or x = 0.29850746268657 )

So, if the dividend is 20 and the quotient is 67, the divisor is 0.29850746268657.
