What is x when 51 divided by x equals 67?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 51 and the quotient 67?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 51 ÷ 67 = 0.76119402985075

To prove this, let's compute 51 divided by 0.76119402985075: 51 0.76119402985075 = 67

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 51 divided by x gives a result of 67, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

51 x = 67

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 51 x x = 67 x
  2. 51 x x is equivalent to x x × 51 , which simplifies to 1 × 51 (or just 51 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 51 = 67 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 67: 51 67 = 67 x 67
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.76119402985075 = x (or x = 0.76119402985075 )

So, if the dividend is 51 and the quotient is 67, the divisor is 0.76119402985075.
