What is x when 50 divided by x equals 67?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 50 and the quotient 67?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 50 ÷ 67 = 0.74626865671642

To prove this, let's compute 50 divided by 0.74626865671642: 50 0.74626865671642 = 67

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 50 divided by x gives a result of 67, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

50 x = 67

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 50 x x = 67 x
  2. 50 x x is equivalent to x x × 50 , which simplifies to 1 × 50 (or just 50 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 50 = 67 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 67: 50 67 = 67 x 67
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.74626865671642 = x (or x = 0.74626865671642 )

So, if the dividend is 50 and the quotient is 67, the divisor is 0.74626865671642.
