What is x when 61 divided by x equals 96?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 61 and the quotient 96?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 61 ÷ 96 = 0.63541666666667

To prove this, let's compute 61 divided by 0.63541666666667: 61 0.63541666666667 = 96

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 61 divided by x gives a result of 96, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

61 x = 96

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 61 x x = 96 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 = 96 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 96: 61 96 = 96 x 96
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.63541666666667 = x (or x = 0.63541666666667 )

So, if the dividend is 61 and the quotient is 96, the divisor is 0.63541666666667.
