What is x when 6 divided by x equals 66?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 6 and the quotient 66?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 6 ÷ 66 = 0.090909090909091

To prove this, let's compute 6 divided by 0.090909090909091: 6 0.090909090909091 = 66

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 6 divided by x gives a result of 66, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

6 x = 66

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 6 x x = 66 x
  2. 6 x x is equivalent to x x × 6 , which simplifies to 1 × 6 (or just 6 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 6 = 66 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 66: 6 66 = 66 x 66
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.090909090909091 = x (or x = 0.090909090909091 )

So, if the dividend is 6 and the quotient is 66, the divisor is 0.090909090909091.
