What is x when 63 divided by x equals 27?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 63 and the quotient 27?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 63 ÷ 27 = 2.3333333333333

To prove this, let's compute 63 divided by 2.3333333333333: 63 2.3333333333333 = 27

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 63 divided by x gives a result of 27, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

63 x = 27

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 63 x x = 27 x
  2. 63 x x is equivalent to x x × 63 , which simplifies to 1 × 63 (or just 63 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 63 = 27 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 27: 63 27 = 27 x 27
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.3333333333333 = x (or x = 2.3333333333333 )

So, if the dividend is 63 and the quotient is 27, the divisor is 2.3333333333333.
