What is x when 46 divided by x equals 63?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 46 and the quotient 63?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 46 ÷ 63 = 0.73015873015873

To prove this, let's compute 46 divided by 0.73015873015873: 46 0.73015873015873 = 63

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 46 divided by x gives a result of 63, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

46 x = 63

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 46 x x = 63 x
  2. 46 x x is equivalent to x x × 46 , which simplifies to 1 × 46 (or just 46 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 46 = 63 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 63: 46 63 = 63 x 63
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.73015873015873 = x (or x = 0.73015873015873 )

So, if the dividend is 46 and the quotient is 63, the divisor is 0.73015873015873.
