What is x when 63 divided by x equals 74?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 63 and the quotient 74?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 63 ÷ 74 = 0.85135135135135

To prove this, let's compute 63 divided by 0.85135135135135: 63 0.85135135135135 = 74

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 63 divided by x gives a result of 74, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

63 x = 74

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 63 x x = 74 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 = 74 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 74: 63 74 = 74 x 74
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.85135135135135 = x (or x = 0.85135135135135 )

So, if the dividend is 63 and the quotient is 74, the divisor is 0.85135135135135.
