What is x when 65 divided by x equals 11?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 65 and the quotient 11?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 65 ÷ 11 = 5.9090909090909

To prove this, let's compute 65 divided by 5.9090909090909: 65 5.9090909090909 = 11

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 65 divided by x gives a result of 11, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

65 x = 11

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 65 x x = 11 x
  2. 65 x x is equivalent to x x × 65 , which simplifies to 1 × 65 (or just 65 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 65 = 11 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 11: 65 11 = 11 x 11
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 5.9090909090909 = x (or x = 5.9090909090909 )

So, if the dividend is 65 and the quotient is 11, the divisor is 5.9090909090909.
