What is x when 41 divided by x equals 10?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 41 and the quotient 10?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 41 ÷ 10 = 4.1

To prove this, let's compute 41 divided by 4.1: 41 4.1 = 10

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 41 divided by x gives a result of 10, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

41 x = 10

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 41 x x = 10 x
  2. 41 x x is equivalent to x x × 41 , which simplifies to 1 × 41 (or just 41 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 41 = 10 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 10: 41 10 = 10 x 10
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.1 = x (or x = 4.1 )

So, if the dividend is 41 and the quotient is 10, the divisor is 4.1.
