What is x when 58 divided by x equals 67?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 58 and the quotient 67?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 58 ÷ 67 = 0.86567164179104

To prove this, let's compute 58 divided by 0.86567164179104: 58 0.86567164179104 = 67

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 58 divided by x gives a result of 67, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

58 x = 67

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 58 x x = 67 x
  2. 58 x x is equivalent to x x × 58 , which simplifies to 1 × 58 (or just 58 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 58 = 67 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 67: 58 67 = 67 x 67
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.86567164179104 = x (or x = 0.86567164179104 )

So, if the dividend is 58 and the quotient is 67, the divisor is 0.86567164179104.
