What is x when 25 divided by x equals 19?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 25 and the quotient 19?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 25 ÷ 19 = 1.3157894736842

To prove this, let's compute 25 divided by 1.3157894736842: 25 1.3157894736842 = 19

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 25 divided by x gives a result of 19, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

25 x = 19

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 25 x x = 19 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 = 19 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 19: 25 19 = 19 x 19
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.3157894736842 = x (or x = 1.3157894736842 )

So, if the dividend is 25 and the quotient is 19, the divisor is 1.3157894736842.
