What is x when 65 divided by x equals 59?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 65 and the quotient 59?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 65 ÷ 59 = 1.1016949152542

To prove this, let's compute 65 divided by 1.1016949152542: 65 1.1016949152542 = 59

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 65 divided by x gives a result of 59, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

65 x = 59

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 65 x x = 59 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 = 59 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 59: 65 59 = 59 x 59
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.1016949152542 = x (or x = 1.1016949152542 )

So, if the dividend is 65 and the quotient is 59, the divisor is 1.1016949152542.
