What is x when 29 divided by x equals 10?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 29 and the quotient 10?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 29 ÷ 10 = 2.9

To prove this, let's compute 29 divided by 2.9: 29 2.9 = 10

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 29 divided by x gives a result of 10, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

29 x = 10

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 29 x x = 10 x
  2. 29 x x is equivalent to x x × 29 , which simplifies to 1 × 29 (or just 29 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 29 = 10 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 10: 29 10 = 10 x 10
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.9 = x (or x = 2.9 )

So, if the dividend is 29 and the quotient is 10, the divisor is 2.9.
