What is x when 76 divided by x equals 63?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 76 and the quotient 63?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 76 ÷ 63 = 1.2063492063492

To prove this, let's compute 76 divided by 1.2063492063492: 76 1.2063492063492 = 63

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 76 divided by x gives a result of 63, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

76 x = 63

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 76 x x = 63 x
  2. 76 x x is equivalent to x x × 76 , which simplifies to 1 × 76 (or just 76 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 76 = 63 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 63: 76 63 = 63 x 63
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.2063492063492 = x (or x = 1.2063492063492 )

So, if the dividend is 76 and the quotient is 63, the divisor is 1.2063492063492.
