What is x when 25 divided by x equals 49?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 25 and the quotient 49?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 25 ÷ 49 = 0.51020408163265

To prove this, let's compute 25 divided by 0.51020408163265: 25 0.51020408163265 = 49

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 25 divided by x gives a result of 49, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

25 x = 49

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 25 x x = 49 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 = 49 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 49: 25 49 = 49 x 49
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.51020408163265 = x (or x = 0.51020408163265 )

So, if the dividend is 25 and the quotient is 49, the divisor is 0.51020408163265.
