What is x when 67 divided by x equals 47?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 67 and the quotient 47?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 67 ÷ 47 = 1.4255319148936

To prove this, let's compute 67 divided by 1.4255319148936: 67 1.4255319148936 = 47

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 67 divided by x gives a result of 47, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

67 x = 47

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 67 x x = 47 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 = 47 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 47: 67 47 = 47 x 47
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.4255319148936 = x (or x = 1.4255319148936 )

So, if the dividend is 67 and the quotient is 47, the divisor is 1.4255319148936.
