What is x when 43 divided by x equals 4?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 43 and the quotient 4?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 43 ÷ 4 = 10.75

To prove this, let's compute 43 divided by 10.75: 43 10.75 = 4

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 43 divided by x gives a result of 4, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

43 x = 4

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 43 x x = 4 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 = 4 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 4: 43 4 = 4 x 4
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 10.75 = x (or x = 10.75 )

So, if the dividend is 43 and the quotient is 4, the divisor is 10.75.
