What is x when 89 divided by x equals 64?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 89 and the quotient 64?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 89 ÷ 64 = 1.390625

To prove this, let's compute 89 divided by 1.390625: 89 1.390625 = 64

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 89 divided by x gives a result of 64, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

89 x = 64

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 89 x x = 64 x
  2. 89 x x is equivalent to x x × 89 , which simplifies to 1 × 89 (or just 89 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 89 = 64 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 64: 89 64 = 64 x 64
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.390625 = x (or x = 1.390625 )

So, if the dividend is 89 and the quotient is 64, the divisor is 1.390625.
