What is x when 67 divided by x equals 18?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 67 and the quotient 18?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 67 ÷ 18 = 3.7222222222222

To prove this, let's compute 67 divided by 3.7222222222222: 67 3.7222222222222 = 18

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 67 divided by x gives a result of 18, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

67 x = 18

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 67 x x = 18 x
  2. 67 x x is equivalent to x x × 67 , which simplifies to 1 × 67 (or just 67 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 67 = 18 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 18: 67 18 = 18 x 18
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.7222222222222 = x (or x = 3.7222222222222 )

So, if the dividend is 67 and the quotient is 18, the divisor is 3.7222222222222.
