What is x when 36 divided by x equals 19?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 36 and the quotient 19?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 36 ÷ 19 = 1.8947368421053

To prove this, let's compute 36 divided by 1.8947368421053: 36 1.8947368421053 = 19

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 36 divided by x gives a result of 19, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

36 x = 19

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 36 x x = 19 x
  2. 36 x x is equivalent to x x × 36 , which simplifies to 1 × 36 (or just 36 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 36 = 19 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 19: 36 19 = 19 x 19
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.8947368421053 = x (or x = 1.8947368421053 )

So, if the dividend is 36 and the quotient is 19, the divisor is 1.8947368421053.
