What is x when 66 divided by x equals 7?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 66 and the quotient 7?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 66 ÷ 7 = 9.4285714285714

To prove this, let's compute 66 divided by 9.4285714285714: 66 9.4285714285714 = 7

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 66 divided by x gives a result of 7, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

66 x = 7

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 66 x x = 7 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 = 7 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 7: 66 7 = 7 x 7
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 9.4285714285714 = x (or x = 9.4285714285714 )

So, if the dividend is 66 and the quotient is 7, the divisor is 9.4285714285714.
