What is x when 67 divided by x equals 59?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 67 and the quotient 59?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 67 ÷ 59 = 1.135593220339

To prove this, let's compute 67 divided by 1.135593220339: 67 1.135593220339 = 59

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 67 divided by x gives a result of 59, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

67 x = 59

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 67 x x = 59 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 = 59 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 59: 67 59 = 59 x 59
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.135593220339 = x (or x = 1.135593220339 )

So, if the dividend is 67 and the quotient is 59, the divisor is 1.135593220339.
