What is x when 65 divided by x equals 19?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 65 and the quotient 19?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 65 ÷ 19 = 3.4210526315789

To prove this, let's compute 65 divided by 3.4210526315789: 65 3.4210526315789 = 19

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 65 divided by x gives a result of 19, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

65 x = 19

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 65 x x = 19 x
  2. 65 x x is equivalent to x x × 65 , which simplifies to 1 × 65 (or just 65 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 65 = 19 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 19: 65 19 = 19 x 19
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.4210526315789 = x (or x = 3.4210526315789 )

So, if the dividend is 65 and the quotient is 19, the divisor is 3.4210526315789.
