What is x when 31 divided by x equals 19?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 31 and the quotient 19?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 31 ÷ 19 = 1.6315789473684

To prove this, let's compute 31 divided by 1.6315789473684: 31 1.6315789473684 = 19

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 31 divided by x gives a result of 19, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

31 x = 19

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 31 x x = 19 x
  2. 31 x x is equivalent to x x × 31 , which simplifies to 1 × 31 (or just 31 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 31 = 19 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 19: 31 19 = 19 x 19
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.6315789473684 = x (or x = 1.6315789473684 )

So, if the dividend is 31 and the quotient is 19, the divisor is 1.6315789473684.
