What is x when 96 divided by x equals 63?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 96 and the quotient 63?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 96 ÷ 63 = 1.5238095238095

To prove this, let's compute 96 divided by 1.5238095238095: 96 1.5238095238095 = 63

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 96 divided by x gives a result of 63, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

96 x = 63

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 96 x x = 63 x
  2. 96 x x is equivalent to x x × 96 , which simplifies to 1 × 96 (or just 96 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 96 = 63 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 63: 96 63 = 63 x 63
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.5238095238095 = x (or x = 1.5238095238095 )

So, if the dividend is 96 and the quotient is 63, the divisor is 1.5238095238095.
