What is x when 19 divided by x equals 9?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 19 and the quotient 9?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 19 ÷ 9 = 2.1111111111111

To prove this, let's compute 19 divided by 2.1111111111111: 19 2.1111111111111 = 9

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 19 divided by x gives a result of 9, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

19 x = 9

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 19 x x = 9 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 = 9 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 9: 19 9 = 9 x 9
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.1111111111111 = x (or x = 2.1111111111111 )

So, if the dividend is 19 and the quotient is 9, the divisor is 2.1111111111111.
