What is x when 66 divided by x equals 67?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 66 and the quotient 67?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 66 ÷ 67 = 0.98507462686567

To prove this, let's compute 66 divided by 0.98507462686567: 66 0.98507462686567 = 67

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 66 divided by x gives a result of 67, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

66 x = 67

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 66 x x = 67 x
  2. 66 x x is equivalent to x x × 66 , which simplifies to 1 × 66 (or just 66 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 66 = 67 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 67: 66 67 = 67 x 67
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.98507462686567 = x (or x = 0.98507462686567 )

So, if the dividend is 66 and the quotient is 67, the divisor is 0.98507462686567.
