What is x when 34 divided by x equals 29?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 34 and the quotient 29?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 34 ÷ 29 = 1.1724137931034

To prove this, let's compute 34 divided by 1.1724137931034: 34 1.1724137931034 = 29

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 34 divided by x gives a result of 29, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

34 x = 29

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 34 x x = 29 x
  2. 34 x x is equivalent to x x × 34 , which simplifies to 1 × 34 (or just 34 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 34 = 29 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 29: 34 29 = 29 x 29
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.1724137931034 = x (or x = 1.1724137931034 )

So, if the dividend is 34 and the quotient is 29, the divisor is 1.1724137931034.
