What is x when 25 divided by x equals 71?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 25 ÷ 71 = 0.35211267605634

To prove this, let's compute 25 divided by 0.35211267605634: $\frac{25}{0.35211267605634} = 71$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 25 divided by x gives a result of 71, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{25}{x} = 71$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{25 x}{x} = 71 x$
$\frac{25 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 25$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 25$ (or just $25$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $25 = 71 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 71: $\frac{25}{71} = \frac{71 x}{71}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.35211267605634 = x$ (or $x = 0.35211267605634$ )

So, if the dividend is 25 and the quotient is 71, the divisor is 0.35211267605634.
