What is x when 61 divided by x equals 59?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 61 ÷ 59 = 1.0338983050847

To prove this, let's compute 61 divided by 1.0338983050847: $\frac{61}{1.0338983050847} = 59$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 61 divided by x gives a result of 59, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{61}{x} = 59$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{61 x}{x} = 59 x$
$\frac{61 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 61$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 61$ (or just $61$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $61 = 59 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 59: $\frac{61}{59} = \frac{59 x}{59}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.0338983050847 = x$ (or $x = 1.0338983050847$ )

So, if the dividend is 61 and the quotient is 59, the divisor is 1.0338983050847.
