What is x when 61 divided by x equals 50?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 61 and the quotient 50?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 61 ÷ 50 = 1.22

To prove this, let's compute 61 divided by 1.22: 61 1.22 = 50

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 61 divided by x gives a result of 50, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

61 x = 50

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 61 x x = 50 x
  2. 61 x x is equivalent to x x × 61 , which simplifies to 1 × 61 (or just 61 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 61 = 50 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 50: 61 50 = 50 x 50
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.22 = x (or x = 1.22 )

So, if the dividend is 61 and the quotient is 50, the divisor is 1.22.
