What is x when 79 divided by x equals 67?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 79 and the quotient 67?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 79 ÷ 67 = 1.1791044776119

To prove this, let's compute 79 divided by 1.1791044776119: 79 1.1791044776119 = 67

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 79 divided by x gives a result of 67, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

79 x = 67

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 79 x x = 67 x
  2. 79 x x is equivalent to x x × 79 , which simplifies to 1 × 79 (or just 79 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 79 = 67 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 67: 79 67 = 67 x 67
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.1791044776119 = x (or x = 1.1791044776119 )

So, if the dividend is 79 and the quotient is 67, the divisor is 1.1791044776119.
