What is x when 29 divided by x equals 64?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 29 and the quotient 64?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 29 ÷ 64 = 0.453125

To prove this, let's compute 29 divided by 0.453125: 29 0.453125 = 64

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 29 divided by x gives a result of 64, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

29 x = 64

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 29 x x = 64 x
  2. 29 x x is equivalent to x x × 29 , which simplifies to 1 × 29 (or just 29 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 29 = 64 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 64: 29 64 = 64 x 64
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.453125 = x (or x = 0.453125 )

So, if the dividend is 29 and the quotient is 64, the divisor is 0.453125.
