What is x when 19 divided by x equals 29?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 19 and the quotient 29?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 19 ÷ 29 = 0.6551724137931

To prove this, let's compute 19 divided by 0.6551724137931: 19 0.6551724137931 = 29

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 19 divided by x gives a result of 29, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

19 x = 29

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 19 x x = 29 x
  2. 19 x x is equivalent to x x × 19 , which simplifies to 1 × 19 (or just 19 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 19 = 29 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 29: 19 29 = 29 x 29
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.6551724137931 = x (or x = 0.6551724137931 )

So, if the dividend is 19 and the quotient is 29, the divisor is 0.6551724137931.
