What is x when 41 divided by x equals 97?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 41 and the quotient 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 41 ÷ 97 = 0.42268041237113

To prove this, let's compute 41 divided by 0.42268041237113: 41 0.42268041237113 = 97

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 41 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

41 x = 97

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 41 x x = 97 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 = 97 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 97: 41 97 = 97 x 97
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.42268041237113 = x (or x = 0.42268041237113 )

So, if the dividend is 41 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.42268041237113.
