What is x when 67 divided by x equals 41?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 67 and the quotient 41?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 67 ÷ 41 = 1.6341463414634

To prove this, let's compute 67 divided by 1.6341463414634: 67 1.6341463414634 = 41

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 67 divided by x gives a result of 41, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

67 x = 41

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 67 x x = 41 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 = 41 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 41: 67 41 = 41 x 41
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.6341463414634 = x (or x = 1.6341463414634 )

So, if the dividend is 67 and the quotient is 41, the divisor is 1.6341463414634.
