What is x when 65 divided by x equals 2?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 65 and the quotient 2?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 65 ÷ 2 = 32.5

To prove this, let's compute 65 divided by 32.5: 65 32.5 = 2

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 65 divided by x gives a result of 2, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

65 x = 2

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 65 x x = 2 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 = 2 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 2: 65 2 = 2 x 2
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 32.5 = x (or x = 32.5 )

So, if the dividend is 65 and the quotient is 2, the divisor is 32.5.
