What is x when 43 divided by x equals 71?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 43 ÷ 71 = 0.6056338028169

To prove this, let's compute 43 divided by 0.6056338028169: $\frac{43}{0.6056338028169} = 71$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 43 divided by x gives a result of 71, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{43}{x} = 71$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{43 x}{x} = 71 x$
$\frac{43 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 43$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 43$ (or just $43$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $43 = 71 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 71: $\frac{43}{71} = \frac{71 x}{71}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.6056338028169 = x$ (or $x = 0.6056338028169$ )

So, if the dividend is 43 and the quotient is 71, the divisor is 0.6056338028169.
