What is x when 31 divided by x equals 69?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 31 and the quotient 69?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 31 ÷ 69 = 0.44927536231884

To prove this, let's compute 31 divided by 0.44927536231884: 31 0.44927536231884 = 69

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 31 divided by x gives a result of 69, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

31 x = 69

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 31 x x = 69 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 = 69 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 69: 31 69 = 69 x 69
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.44927536231884 = x (or x = 0.44927536231884 )

So, if the dividend is 31 and the quotient is 69, the divisor is 0.44927536231884.
