What is x when 61 divided by x equals 31?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 61 ÷ 31 = 1.9677419354839

To prove this, let's compute 61 divided by 1.9677419354839: $\frac{61}{1.9677419354839} = 31$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 61 divided by x gives a result of 31, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{61}{x} = 31$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{61 x}{x} = 31 x$
$\frac{61 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 61$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 61$ (or just $61$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $61 = 31 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 31: $\frac{61}{31} = \frac{31 x}{31}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.9677419354839 = x$ (or $x = 1.9677419354839$ )

So, if the dividend is 61 and the quotient is 31, the divisor is 1.9677419354839.
