What is x when 29 divided by x equals 18?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 29 and the quotient 18?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 29 ÷ 18 = 1.6111111111111

To prove this, let's compute 29 divided by 1.6111111111111: 29 1.6111111111111 = 18

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 29 divided by x gives a result of 18, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

29 x = 18

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 29 x x = 18 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 = 18 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 18: 29 18 = 18 x 18
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.6111111111111 = x (or x = 1.6111111111111 )

So, if the dividend is 29 and the quotient is 18, the divisor is 1.6111111111111.
