What is x when 64 divided by x equals 7?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 64 and the quotient 7?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 64 ÷ 7 = 9.1428571428571

To prove this, let's compute 64 divided by 9.1428571428571: 64 9.1428571428571 = 7

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 64 divided by x gives a result of 7, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

64 x = 7

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 64 x x = 7 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 = 7 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 7: 64 7 = 7 x 7
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 9.1428571428571 = x (or x = 9.1428571428571 )

So, if the dividend is 64 and the quotient is 7, the divisor is 9.1428571428571.
