How to find an unknown divider when only the answer and number to divide is known.

117 Views Asked by At

I want to know if there’s a certain process that’ll give me this. I’ve searched online, but since I can’t think of how to even ask the question, I’ve come here. So an example would be: $\frac{60}{x}=4$ , find $x$ I know it’s probably simple but I just can’t think of anything (I also have no idea what to tag it as, so sorry for miss tagging)

$$\begin{align}&\frac{60}x=4\\&60=4x\\&x=\frac{60}4\end{align}$$

Edit: Remember in other circumstances, if $x$ is found to be $0$ it must be ignored as $0$ cannot be on the denominator

The equation $\frac{a}{x}=b$ has solution $x=\frac{a}{b}$... (provided $b$ is not $0$).
