What is x when 63 divided by x equals 57?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 63 and the quotient 57?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 63 ÷ 57 = 1.1052631578947

To prove this, let's compute 63 divided by 1.1052631578947: 63 1.1052631578947 = 57

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 63 divided by x gives a result of 57, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

63 x = 57

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 63 x x = 57 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 = 57 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 57: 63 57 = 57 x 57
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.1052631578947 = x (or x = 1.1052631578947 )

So, if the dividend is 63 and the quotient is 57, the divisor is 1.1052631578947.
