What is x when 49 divided by x equals 63?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 49 and the quotient 63?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 49 ÷ 63 = 0.77777777777778

To prove this, let's compute 49 divided by 0.77777777777778: 49 0.77777777777778 = 63

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 49 divided by x gives a result of 63, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

49 x = 63

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 49 x x = 63 x
  2. 49 x x is equivalent to x x × 49 , which simplifies to 1 × 49 (or just 49 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 49 = 63 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 63: 49 63 = 63 x 63
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.77777777777778 = x (or x = 0.77777777777778 )

So, if the dividend is 49 and the quotient is 63, the divisor is 0.77777777777778.
