Determine what number is divided by 63 which is equal to 9.

The given statement can be expressed in numerical term as,

63/ x = 9

In order to find what number must be divided by 9, we solve for x.

The first step is to multiply x on both sides of the equation, in order to cancel out 63/x

63/ x = 9

63 = 9x

Now divide both sides by 9 to find the value of x.

9x / 9 = 63/9

x = 7

The number the must be divided by 63 in order to have a quotient of 9 is 7.
