What is x when 64 divided by x equals 43?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 64 and the quotient 43?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 64 ÷ 43 = 1.4883720930233

To prove this, let's compute 64 divided by 1.4883720930233: 64 1.4883720930233 = 43

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 64 divided by x gives a result of 43, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

64 x = 43

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 64 x x = 43 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 = 43 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 43: 64 43 = 43 x 43
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.4883720930233 = x (or x = 1.4883720930233 )

So, if the dividend is 64 and the quotient is 43, the divisor is 1.4883720930233.
