What is x when 49 divided by x equals 95?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 49 and the quotient 95?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 49 ÷ 95 = 0.51578947368421

To prove this, let's compute 49 divided by 0.51578947368421: 49 0.51578947368421 = 95

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 49 divided by x gives a result of 95, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

49 x = 95

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 49 x x = 95 x
  2. 49 x x is equivalent to x x × 49 , which simplifies to 1 × 49 (or just 49 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 49 = 95 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 95: 49 95 = 95 x 95
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.51578947368421 = x (or x = 0.51578947368421 )

So, if the dividend is 49 and the quotient is 95, the divisor is 0.51578947368421.
