What is x when 67 divided by x equals 73?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 67 and the quotient 73?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 67 ÷ 73 = 0.91780821917808

To prove this, let's compute 67 divided by 0.91780821917808: 67 0.91780821917808 = 73

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 67 divided by x gives a result of 73, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

67 x = 73

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 67 x x = 73 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 = 73 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 73: 67 73 = 73 x 73
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.91780821917808 = x (or x = 0.91780821917808 )

So, if the dividend is 67 and the quotient is 73, the divisor is 0.91780821917808.
