What is x when 26 divided by x equals 67?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 26 and the quotient 67?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 26 ÷ 67 = 0.38805970149254

To prove this, let's compute 26 divided by 0.38805970149254: 26 0.38805970149254 = 67

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 26 divided by x gives a result of 67, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

26 x = 67

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 26 x x = 67 x
  2. 26 x x is equivalent to x x × 26 , which simplifies to 1 × 26 (or just 26 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 26 = 67 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 67: 26 67 = 67 x 67
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.38805970149254 = x (or x = 0.38805970149254 )

So, if the dividend is 26 and the quotient is 67, the divisor is 0.38805970149254.
