What is x when 43 divided by x equals 11?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 43 and the quotient 11?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 43 ÷ 11 = 3.9090909090909

To prove this, let's compute 43 divided by 3.9090909090909: 43 3.9090909090909 = 11

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 43 divided by x gives a result of 11, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

43 x = 11

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 43 x x = 11 x
  2. 43 x x is equivalent to x x × 43 , which simplifies to 1 × 43 (or just 43 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 43 = 11 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 11: 43 11 = 11 x 11
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.9090909090909 = x (or x = 3.9090909090909 )

So, if the dividend is 43 and the quotient is 11, the divisor is 3.9090909090909.
