What is x when 60 divided by x equals 54?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 60 and the quotient 54?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 60 ÷ 54 = 1.1111111111111

To prove this, let's compute 60 divided by 1.1111111111111: 60 1.1111111111111 = 54

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 60 divided by x gives a result of 54, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

60 x = 54

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 60 x x = 54 x
  2. 60 x x is equivalent to x x × 60 , which simplifies to 1 × 60 (or just 60 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 60 = 54 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 54: 60 54 = 54 x 54
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.1111111111111 = x (or x = 1.1111111111111 )

So, if the dividend is 60 and the quotient is 54, the divisor is 1.1111111111111.
