What is x when 64 divided by x equals 60?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 64 and the quotient 60?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 64 ÷ 60 = 1.0666666666667

To prove this, let's compute 64 divided by 1.0666666666667: 64 1.0666666666667 = 60

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 64 divided by x gives a result of 60, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

64 x = 60

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 64 x x = 60 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 = 60 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 60: 64 60 = 60 x 60
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.0666666666667 = x (or x = 1.0666666666667 )

So, if the dividend is 64 and the quotient is 60, the divisor is 1.0666666666667.
