What is x when 41 divided by x equals 84?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 41 ÷ 84 = 0.48809523809524

To prove this, let's compute 41 divided by 0.48809523809524: $\frac{41}{0.48809523809524} = 84$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 41 divided by x gives a result of 84, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{41}{x} = 84$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{41 x}{x} = 84 x$
$\frac{41 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 41$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 41$ (or just $41$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $41 = 84 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 84: $\frac{41}{84} = \frac{84 x}{84}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.48809523809524 = x$ (or $x = 0.48809523809524$ )

So, if the dividend is 41 and the quotient is 84, the divisor is 0.48809523809524.
