What is x when 99 divided by x equals 63?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 99 and the quotient 63?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 99 ÷ 63 = 1.5714285714286

To prove this, let's compute 99 divided by 1.5714285714286: 99 1.5714285714286 = 63

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 99 divided by x gives a result of 63, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

99 x = 63

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 99 x x = 63 x
  2. 99 x x is equivalent to x x × 99 , which simplifies to 1 × 99 (or just 99 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 99 = 63 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 63: 99 63 = 63 x 63
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.5714285714286 = x (or x = 1.5714285714286 )

So, if the dividend is 99 and the quotient is 63, the divisor is 1.5714285714286.
