What is x when 81 divided by x equals 67?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 81 and the quotient 67?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 81 ÷ 67 = 1.2089552238806

To prove this, let's compute 81 divided by 1.2089552238806: 81 1.2089552238806 = 67

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 81 divided by x gives a result of 67, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

81 x = 67

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 81 x x = 67 x
  2. 81 x x is equivalent to x x × 81 , which simplifies to 1 × 81 (or just 81 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 81 = 67 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 67: 81 67 = 67 x 67
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.2089552238806 = x (or x = 1.2089552238806 )

So, if the dividend is 81 and the quotient is 67, the divisor is 1.2089552238806.
