What is x when 64 divided by x equals 65?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 64 and the quotient 65?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 64 ÷ 65 = 0.98461538461538

To prove this, let's compute 64 divided by 0.98461538461538: 64 0.98461538461538 = 65

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 64 divided by x gives a result of 65, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

64 x = 65

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 64 x x = 65 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 = 65 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 65: 64 65 = 65 x 65
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.98461538461538 = x (or x = 0.98461538461538 )

So, if the dividend is 64 and the quotient is 65, the divisor is 0.98461538461538.
