What is x when 67 divided by x equals 48?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 67 and the quotient 48?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 67 ÷ 48 = 1.3958333333333

To prove this, let's compute 67 divided by 1.3958333333333: 67 1.3958333333333 = 48

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 67 divided by x gives a result of 48, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

67 x = 48

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 67 x x = 48 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 = 48 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 48: 67 48 = 48 x 48
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.3958333333333 = x (or x = 1.3958333333333 )

So, if the dividend is 67 and the quotient is 48, the divisor is 1.3958333333333.
