What is x when 30 divided by x equals 43?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 30 and the quotient 43?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 30 ÷ 43 = 0.69767441860465

To prove this, let's compute 30 divided by 0.69767441860465: 30 0.69767441860465 = 43

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 30 divided by x gives a result of 43, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

30 x = 43

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 30 x x = 43 x
  2. 30 x x is equivalent to x x × 30 , which simplifies to 1 × 30 (or just 30 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 30 = 43 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 43: 30 43 = 43 x 43
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.69767441860465 = x (or x = 0.69767441860465 )

So, if the dividend is 30 and the quotient is 43, the divisor is 0.69767441860465.
