What is x when 63 divided by x equals 39?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 63 and the quotient 39?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 63 ÷ 39 = 1.6153846153846

To prove this, let's compute 63 divided by 1.6153846153846: 63 1.6153846153846 = 39

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 63 divided by x gives a result of 39, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

63 x = 39

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 63 x x = 39 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 = 39 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 39: 63 39 = 39 x 39
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.6153846153846 = x (or x = 1.6153846153846 )

So, if the dividend is 63 and the quotient is 39, the divisor is 1.6153846153846.
