What is x when 41 divided by x equals 91?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 41 and the quotient 91?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 41 ÷ 91 = 0.45054945054945

To prove this, let's compute 41 divided by 0.45054945054945: 41 0.45054945054945 = 91

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 41 divided by x gives a result of 91, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

41 x = 91

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 41 x x = 91 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 = 91 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 91: 41 91 = 91 x 91
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.45054945054945 = x (or x = 0.45054945054945 )

So, if the dividend is 41 and the quotient is 91, the divisor is 0.45054945054945.
