What is x when 41 divided by x equals 32?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 41 and the quotient 32?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 41 ÷ 32 = 1.28125

To prove this, let's compute 41 divided by 1.28125: 41 1.28125 = 32

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 41 divided by x gives a result of 32, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

41 x = 32

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 41 x x = 32 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 = 32 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 32: 41 32 = 32 x 32
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.28125 = x (or x = 1.28125 )

So, if the dividend is 41 and the quotient is 32, the divisor is 1.28125.
