What is x when 49 divided by x equals 27?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 49 ÷ 27 = 1.8148148148148

To prove this, let's compute 49 divided by 1.8148148148148: $\frac{49}{1.8148148148148} = 27$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 49 divided by x gives a result of 27, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{49}{x} = 27$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{49 x}{x} = 27 x$
$\frac{49 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 49$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 49$ (or just $49$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $49 = 27 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 27: $\frac{49}{27} = \frac{27 x}{27}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.8148148148148 = x$ (or $x = 1.8148148148148$ )

So, if the dividend is 49 and the quotient is 27, the divisor is 1.8148148148148.
