What is x when 47 divided by x equals 67?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 47 and the quotient 67?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 47 ÷ 67 = 0.70149253731343

To prove this, let's compute 47 divided by 0.70149253731343: 47 0.70149253731343 = 67

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 47 divided by x gives a result of 67, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

47 x = 67

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 47 x x = 67 x
  2. 47 x x is equivalent to x x × 47 , which simplifies to 1 × 47 (or just 47 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 47 = 67 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 67: 47 67 = 67 x 67
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.70149253731343 = x (or x = 0.70149253731343 )

So, if the dividend is 47 and the quotient is 67, the divisor is 0.70149253731343.
