What is x when 39 divided by x equals 29?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 39 and the quotient 29?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 39 ÷ 29 = 1.3448275862069

To prove this, let's compute 39 divided by 1.3448275862069: 39 1.3448275862069 = 29

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 39 divided by x gives a result of 29, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

39 x = 29

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 39 x x = 29 x
  2. 39 x x is equivalent to x x × 39 , which simplifies to 1 × 39 (or just 39 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 39 = 29 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 29: 39 29 = 29 x 29
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.3448275862069 = x (or x = 1.3448275862069 )

So, if the dividend is 39 and the quotient is 29, the divisor is 1.3448275862069.
