What is x when 19 divided by x equals 52?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 19 and the quotient 52?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 19 ÷ 52 = 0.36538461538462

To prove this, let's compute 19 divided by 0.36538461538462: 19 0.36538461538462 = 52

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 19 divided by x gives a result of 52, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

19 x = 52

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 19 x x = 52 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 = 52 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 52: 19 52 = 52 x 52
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.36538461538462 = x (or x = 0.36538461538462 )

So, if the dividend is 19 and the quotient is 52, the divisor is 0.36538461538462.
