What is x when 46 divided by x equals 43?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 46 and the quotient 43?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 46 ÷ 43 = 1.0697674418605

To prove this, let's compute 46 divided by 1.0697674418605: 46 1.0697674418605 = 43

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 46 divided by x gives a result of 43, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

46 x = 43

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 46 x x = 43 x
  2. 46 x x is equivalent to x x × 46 , which simplifies to 1 × 46 (or just 46 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 46 = 43 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 43: 46 43 = 43 x 43
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.0697674418605 = x (or x = 1.0697674418605 )

So, if the dividend is 46 and the quotient is 43, the divisor is 1.0697674418605.
