What is x when 65 divided by x equals 24?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 65 and the quotient 24?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 65 ÷ 24 = 2.7083333333333

To prove this, let's compute 65 divided by 2.7083333333333: 65 2.7083333333333 = 24

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 65 divided by x gives a result of 24, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

65 x = 24

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 65 x x = 24 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 = 24 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 24: 65 24 = 24 x 24
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.7083333333333 = x (or x = 2.7083333333333 )

So, if the dividend is 65 and the quotient is 24, the divisor is 2.7083333333333.
