What is x when 80 divided by x equals 63?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 80 and the quotient 63?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 80 ÷ 63 = 1.2698412698413

To prove this, let's compute 80 divided by 1.2698412698413: 80 1.2698412698413 = 63

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 80 divided by x gives a result of 63, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

80 x = 63

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 80 x x = 63 x
  2. 80 x x is equivalent to x x × 80 , which simplifies to 1 × 80 (or just 80 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 80 = 63 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 63: 80 63 = 63 x 63
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.2698412698413 = x (or x = 1.2698412698413 )

So, if the dividend is 80 and the quotient is 63, the divisor is 1.2698412698413.
