What is x when 25 divided by x equals 61?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 25 and the quotient 61?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 25 ÷ 61 = 0.40983606557377

To prove this, let's compute 25 divided by 0.40983606557377: 25 0.40983606557377 = 61

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 25 divided by x gives a result of 61, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

25 x = 61

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 25 x x = 61 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 = 61 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 61: 25 61 = 61 x 61
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.40983606557377 = x (or x = 0.40983606557377 )

So, if the dividend is 25 and the quotient is 61, the divisor is 0.40983606557377.
