What is x when 34 divided by x equals 67?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 34 and the quotient 67?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 34 ÷ 67 = 0.50746268656716

To prove this, let's compute 34 divided by 0.50746268656716: 34 0.50746268656716 = 67

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 34 divided by x gives a result of 67, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

34 x = 67

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 34 x x = 67 x
  2. 34 x x is equivalent to x x × 34 , which simplifies to 1 × 34 (or just 34 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 34 = 67 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 67: 34 67 = 67 x 67
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.50746268656716 = x (or x = 0.50746268656716 )

So, if the dividend is 34 and the quotient is 67, the divisor is 0.50746268656716.
