What is x when 67 divided by x equals 2?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 67 and the quotient 2?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 67 ÷ 2 = 33.5

To prove this, let's compute 67 divided by 33.5: 67 33.5 = 2

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 67 divided by x gives a result of 2, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

67 x = 2

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 67 x x = 2 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 = 2 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 2: 67 2 = 2 x 2
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 33.5 = x (or x = 33.5 )

So, if the dividend is 67 and the quotient is 2, the divisor is 33.5.
