What is x when 67 divided by x equals 87?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 67 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 67 ÷ 87 = 0.77011494252874

To prove this, let's compute 67 divided by 0.77011494252874: 67 0.77011494252874 = 87

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 67 divided by x gives a result of 87, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

67 x = 87

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 67 x x = 87 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 = 87 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 87: 67 87 = 87 x 87
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.77011494252874 = x (or x = 0.77011494252874 )

So, if the dividend is 67 and the quotient is 87, the divisor is 0.77011494252874.
