What is x when 50 divided by x equals 19?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 50 and the quotient 19?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 50 ÷ 19 = 2.6315789473684

To prove this, let's compute 50 divided by 2.6315789473684: 50 2.6315789473684 = 19

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 50 divided by x gives a result of 19, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

50 x = 19

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 50 x x = 19 x
  2. 50 x x is equivalent to x x × 50 , which simplifies to 1 × 50 (or just 50 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 50 = 19 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 19: 50 19 = 19 x 19
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.6315789473684 = x (or x = 2.6315789473684 )

So, if the dividend is 50 and the quotient is 19, the divisor is 2.6315789473684.
