What is x when 65 divided by x equals 97?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 65 and the quotient 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 65 ÷ 97 = 0.67010309278351

To prove this, let's compute 65 divided by 0.67010309278351: 65 0.67010309278351 = 97

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 65 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

65 x = 97

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 65 x x = 97 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 = 97 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 97: 65 97 = 97 x 97
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.67010309278351 = x (or x = 0.67010309278351 )

So, if the dividend is 65 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.67010309278351.
