What is x when 67 divided by x equals 5?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 67 and the quotient 5?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 67 ÷ 5 = 13.4

To prove this, let's compute 67 divided by 13.4: 67 13.4 = 5

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 67 divided by x gives a result of 5, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

67 x = 5

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 67 x x = 5 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 = 5 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 5: 67 5 = 5 x 5
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 13.4 = x (or x = 13.4 )

So, if the dividend is 67 and the quotient is 5, the divisor is 13.4.
