What is x when 10 divided by x equals 49?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 10 and the quotient 49?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 10 ÷ 49 = 0.20408163265306

To prove this, let's compute 10 divided by 0.20408163265306: 10 0.20408163265306 = 49

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 10 divided by x gives a result of 49, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

10 x = 49

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 10 x x = 49 x
  2. 10 x x is equivalent to x x × 10 , which simplifies to 1 × 10 (or just 10 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 10 = 49 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 49: 10 49 = 49 x 49
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.20408163265306 = x (or x = 0.20408163265306 )

So, if the dividend is 10 and the quotient is 49, the divisor is 0.20408163265306.
