What is x when 64 divided by x equals 24?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 64 and the quotient 24?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 64 ÷ 24 = 2.6666666666667

To prove this, let's compute 64 divided by 2.6666666666667: 64 2.6666666666667 = 24

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 64 divided by x gives a result of 24, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

64 x = 24

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 64 x x = 24 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 = 24 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 24: 64 24 = 24 x 24
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.6666666666667 = x (or x = 2.6666666666667 )

So, if the dividend is 64 and the quotient is 24, the divisor is 2.6666666666667.
