What is x when 41 divided by x equals 21?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 41 ÷ 21 = 1.952380952381

To prove this, let's compute 41 divided by 1.952380952381: $\frac{41}{1.952380952381} = 21$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 41 divided by x gives a result of 21, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{41}{x} = 21$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{41 x}{x} = 21 x$
$\frac{41 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 41$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 41$ (or just $41$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $41 = 21 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 21: $\frac{41}{21} = \frac{21 x}{21}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.952380952381 = x$ (or $x = 1.952380952381$ )

So, if the dividend is 41 and the quotient is 21, the divisor is 1.952380952381.
