What is x when 34 divided by x equals 31?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 34 and the quotient 31?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 34 ÷ 31 = 1.0967741935484

To prove this, let's compute 34 divided by 1.0967741935484: 34 1.0967741935484 = 31

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 34 divided by x gives a result of 31, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

34 x = 31

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 34 x x = 31 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 = 31 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 31: 34 31 = 31 x 31
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.0967741935484 = x (or x = 1.0967741935484 )

So, if the dividend is 34 and the quotient is 31, the divisor is 1.0967741935484.
