What is x when 65 divided by x equals 66?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 65 and the quotient 66?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 65 ÷ 66 = 0.98484848484848

To prove this, let's compute 65 divided by 0.98484848484848: 65 0.98484848484848 = 66

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 65 divided by x gives a result of 66, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

65 x = 66

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 65 x x = 66 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 = 66 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 66: 65 66 = 66 x 66
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.98484848484848 = x (or x = 0.98484848484848 )

So, if the dividend is 65 and the quotient is 66, the divisor is 0.98484848484848.
