What is x when 35 divided by x equals 39?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 35 ÷ 39 = 0.8974358974359

To prove this, let's compute 35 divided by 0.8974358974359: $\frac{35}{0.8974358974359} = 39$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 35 divided by x gives a result of 39, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{35}{x} = 39$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{35 x}{x} = 39 x$
$\frac{35 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 35$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 35$ (or just $35$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $35 = 39 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 39: $\frac{35}{39} = \frac{39 x}{39}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.8974358974359 = x$ (or $x = 0.8974358974359$ )

So, if the dividend is 35 and the quotient is 39, the divisor is 0.8974358974359.
