What is x when 63 divided by x equals 50?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 63 and the quotient 50?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 63 ÷ 50 = 1.26

To prove this, let's compute 63 divided by 1.26: 63 1.26 = 50

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 63 divided by x gives a result of 50, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

63 x = 50

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 63 x x = 50 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 = 50 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 50: 63 50 = 50 x 50
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.26 = x (or x = 1.26 )

So, if the dividend is 63 and the quotient is 50, the divisor is 1.26.
