What is x when 29 divided by x equals 43?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 29 and the quotient 43?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 29 ÷ 43 = 0.67441860465116

To prove this, let's compute 29 divided by 0.67441860465116: 29 0.67441860465116 = 43

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 29 divided by x gives a result of 43, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

29 x = 43

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 29 x x = 43 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 = 43 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 43: 29 43 = 43 x 43
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.67441860465116 = x (or x = 0.67441860465116 )

So, if the dividend is 29 and the quotient is 43, the divisor is 0.67441860465116.
