What is x when 63 divided by x equals 79?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 63 and the quotient 79?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 63 ÷ 79 = 0.79746835443038

To prove this, let's compute 63 divided by 0.79746835443038: 63 0.79746835443038 = 79

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 63 divided by x gives a result of 79, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

63 x = 79

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 63 x x = 79 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 = 79 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 79: 63 79 = 79 x 79
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.79746835443038 = x (or x = 0.79746835443038 )

So, if the dividend is 63 and the quotient is 79, the divisor is 0.79746835443038.
