What is x when 25 divided by x equals 31?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 25 and the quotient 31?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 25 ÷ 31 = 0.80645161290323

To prove this, let's compute 25 divided by 0.80645161290323: 25 0.80645161290323 = 31

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 25 divided by x gives a result of 31, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

25 x = 31

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 25 x x = 31 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 = 31 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 31: 25 31 = 31 x 31
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.80645161290323 = x (or x = 0.80645161290323 )

So, if the dividend is 25 and the quotient is 31, the divisor is 0.80645161290323.
