What is x when 67 divided by x equals 61?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 67 and the quotient 61?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 67 ÷ 61 = 1.0983606557377

To prove this, let's compute 67 divided by 1.0983606557377: 67 1.0983606557377 = 61

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 67 divided by x gives a result of 61, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

67 x = 61

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 67 x x = 61 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 = 61 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 61: 67 61 = 61 x 61
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.0983606557377 = x (or x = 1.0983606557377 )

So, if the dividend is 67 and the quotient is 61, the divisor is 1.0983606557377.
