What is x when 65 divided by x equals 29?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 65 and the quotient 29?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 65 ÷ 29 = 2.2413793103448

To prove this, let's compute 65 divided by 2.2413793103448: 65 2.2413793103448 = 29

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 65 divided by x gives a result of 29, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

65 x = 29

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 65 x x = 29 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 = 29 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 29: 65 29 = 29 x 29
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.2413793103448 = x (or x = 2.2413793103448 )

So, if the dividend is 65 and the quotient is 29, the divisor is 2.2413793103448.
