What is x when 61 divided by x equals 65?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 61 and the quotient 65?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 61 ÷ 65 = 0.93846153846154

To prove this, let's compute 61 divided by 0.93846153846154: 61 0.93846153846154 = 65

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 61 divided by x gives a result of 65, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

61 x = 65

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 61 x x = 65 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 = 65 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 65: 61 65 = 65 x 65
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.93846153846154 = x (or x = 0.93846153846154 )

So, if the dividend is 61 and the quotient is 65, the divisor is 0.93846153846154.
