What is x when 49 divided by x equals 31?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 49 ÷ 31 = 1.5806451612903

To prove this, let's compute 49 divided by 1.5806451612903: $\frac{49}{1.5806451612903} = 31$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 49 divided by x gives a result of 31, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{49}{x} = 31$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{49 x}{x} = 31 x$
$\frac{49 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 49$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 49$ (or just $49$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $49 = 31 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 31: $\frac{49}{31} = \frac{31 x}{31}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.5806451612903 = x$ (or $x = 1.5806451612903$ )

So, if the dividend is 49 and the quotient is 31, the divisor is 1.5806451612903.
