What is x when 25 divided by x equals 1?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 25 and the quotient 1?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 25 ÷ 1 = 25

To prove this, let's compute 25 divided by 25: 25 25 = 1

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 25 divided by x gives a result of 1, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

25 x = 1

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 25 x x = 1 x
  2. 25 x x is equivalent to x x × 25 , which simplifies to 1 × 25 (or just 25 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 25 = 1 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 1: 25 1 = 1 x 1
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 25 = x (or x = 25 )

So, if the dividend is 25 and the quotient is 1, the divisor is 25.
