What is x when 41 divided by x equals 79?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 41 ÷ 79 = 0.51898734177215

To prove this, let's compute 41 divided by 0.51898734177215: $\frac{41}{0.51898734177215} = 79$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 41 divided by x gives a result of 79, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{41}{x} = 79$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{41 x}{x} = 79 x$
$\frac{41 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 41$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 41$ (or just $41$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $41 = 79 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 79: $\frac{41}{79} = \frac{79 x}{79}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.51898734177215 = x$ (or $x = 0.51898734177215$ )

So, if the dividend is 41 and the quotient is 79, the divisor is 0.51898734177215.
