What is x when 64 divided by x equals 18?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 64 and the quotient 18?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 64 ÷ 18 = 3.5555555555556

To prove this, let's compute 64 divided by 3.5555555555556: 64 3.5555555555556 = 18

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 64 divided by x gives a result of 18, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

64 x = 18

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 64 x x = 18 x
  2. 64 x x is equivalent to x x × 64 , which simplifies to 1 × 64 (or just 64 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 64 = 18 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 18: 64 18 = 18 x 18
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.5555555555556 = x (or x = 3.5555555555556 )

So, if the dividend is 64 and the quotient is 18, the divisor is 3.5555555555556.
