What is x when 18 divided by x equals 61?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 18 ÷ 61 = 0.29508196721311

To prove this, let's compute 18 divided by 0.29508196721311: $\frac{18}{0.29508196721311} = 61$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 18 divided by x gives a result of 61, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{18}{x} = 61$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{18 x}{x} = 61 x$
$\frac{18 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 18$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 18$ (or just $18$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $18 = 61 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 61: $\frac{18}{61} = \frac{61 x}{61}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.29508196721311 = x$ (or $x = 0.29508196721311$ )

So, if the dividend is 18 and the quotient is 61, the divisor is 0.29508196721311.
