What is x when 60 divided by x equals 67?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 60 and the quotient 67?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 60 ÷ 67 = 0.8955223880597

To prove this, let's compute 60 divided by 0.8955223880597: 60 0.8955223880597 = 67

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 60 divided by x gives a result of 67, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

60 x = 67

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 60 x x = 67 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 = 67 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 67: 60 67 = 67 x 67
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.8955223880597 = x (or x = 0.8955223880597 )

So, if the dividend is 60 and the quotient is 67, the divisor is 0.8955223880597.
