What is x when 63 divided by x equals 64?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 63 and the quotient 64?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 63 ÷ 64 = 0.984375

To prove this, let's compute 63 divided by 0.984375: 63 0.984375 = 64

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 63 divided by x gives a result of 64, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

63 x = 64

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 63 x x = 64 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 = 64 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 64: 63 64 = 64 x 64
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.984375 = x (or x = 0.984375 )

So, if the dividend is 63 and the quotient is 64, the divisor is 0.984375.
