What is x when 61 divided by x equals 63?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 61 and the quotient 63?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 61 ÷ 63 = 0.96825396825397

To prove this, let's compute 61 divided by 0.96825396825397: 61 0.96825396825397 = 63

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 61 divided by x gives a result of 63, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

61 x = 63

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 61 x x = 63 x
  2. 61 x x is equivalent to x x × 61 , which simplifies to 1 × 61 (or just 61 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 61 = 63 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 63: 61 63 = 63 x 63
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.96825396825397 = x (or x = 0.96825396825397 )

So, if the dividend is 61 and the quotient is 63, the divisor is 0.96825396825397.
