What is x when 50 divided by x equals 43?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 50 and the quotient 43?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 50 ÷ 43 = 1.1627906976744

To prove this, let's compute 50 divided by 1.1627906976744: 50 1.1627906976744 = 43

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 50 divided by x gives a result of 43, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

50 x = 43

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 50 x x = 43 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 = 43 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 43: 50 43 = 43 x 43
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.1627906976744 = x (or x = 1.1627906976744 )

So, if the dividend is 50 and the quotient is 43, the divisor is 1.1627906976744.
