What is x when 61 divided by x equals 67?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 61 and the quotient 67?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 61 ÷ 67 = 0.91044776119403

To prove this, let's compute 61 divided by 0.91044776119403: 61 0.91044776119403 = 67

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 61 divided by x gives a result of 67, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

61 x = 67

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 61 x x = 67 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 = 67 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 67: 61 67 = 67 x 67
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.91044776119403 = x (or x = 0.91044776119403 )

So, if the dividend is 61 and the quotient is 67, the divisor is 0.91044776119403.
