What is x when 70 divided by x equals 66?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 70 and the quotient 66?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 70 ÷ 66 = 1.0606060606061

To prove this, let's compute 70 divided by 1.0606060606061: 70 1.0606060606061 = 66

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 70 divided by x gives a result of 66, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

70 x = 66

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 70 x x = 66 x
  2. 70 x x is equivalent to x x × 70 , which simplifies to 1 × 70 (or just 70 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 70 = 66 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 66: 70 66 = 66 x 66
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.0606060606061 = x (or x = 1.0606060606061 )

So, if the dividend is 70 and the quotient is 66, the divisor is 1.0606060606061.
