What is x when 42 divided by x equals 67?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 42 ÷ 67 = 0.62686567164179

To prove this, let's compute 42 divided by 0.62686567164179: $\frac{42}{0.62686567164179} = 67$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 42 divided by x gives a result of 67, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{42}{x} = 67$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{42 x}{x} = 67 x$
$\frac{42 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 42$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 42$ (or just $42$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $42 = 67 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 67: $\frac{42}{67} = \frac{67 x}{67}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.62686567164179 = x$ (or $x = 0.62686567164179$ )

So, if the dividend is 42 and the quotient is 67, the divisor is 0.62686567164179.
