What is x when 64 divided by x equals 83?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 64 and the quotient 83?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 64 ÷ 83 = 0.7710843373494

To prove this, let's compute 64 divided by 0.7710843373494: 64 0.7710843373494 = 83

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 64 divided by x gives a result of 83, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

64 x = 83

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 64 x x = 83 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 = 83 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 83: 64 83 = 83 x 83
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.7710843373494 = x (or x = 0.7710843373494 )

So, if the dividend is 64 and the quotient is 83, the divisor is 0.7710843373494.
