What is x when 67 divided by x equals 6?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 67 and the quotient 6?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 67 ÷ 6 = 11.166666666667

To prove this, let's compute 67 divided by 11.166666666667: 67 11.166666666667 = 6

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 67 divided by x gives a result of 6, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

67 x = 6

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 67 x x = 6 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 = 6 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 6: 67 6 = 6 x 6
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 11.166666666667 = x (or x = 11.166666666667 )

So, if the dividend is 67 and the quotient is 6, the divisor is 11.166666666667.
