What is x when 60 divided by x equals 65?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 60 and the quotient 65?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 60 ÷ 65 = 0.92307692307692

To prove this, let's compute 60 divided by 0.92307692307692: 60 0.92307692307692 = 65

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 60 divided by x gives a result of 65, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

60 x = 65

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 60 x x = 65 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 = 65 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 65: 60 65 = 65 x 65
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.92307692307692 = x (or x = 0.92307692307692 )

So, if the dividend is 60 and the quotient is 65, the divisor is 0.92307692307692.
