To find a number that, when 7 is divided by it, equals 6, you can set up the equation:
\[
\frac{7}{x} = 6
\]
To solve for \( x \), multiply both sides of the equation by \( x \):
\[
7 = 6x
\]
Now, divide both sides by 6:
\[
x = \frac{7}{6} \approx 1.1667
\]
However, since you want a whole number that is less than \( \frac{7}{6} \), there isn't any whole number that satisfies these conditions.
If you're looking for a division such that 7 divided by it gives a whole number less than 6, you can check integer divisors of 7: 1 and 7 itself. Here, \( 7/1 = 7 \), which is greater than 6, and \( 7/7 = 1 \), which is a whole number less than 6, but it doesn't satisfy your equation.
Therefore, there is no whole number less than \( 7/6 \) that can satisfy your condition.
