What is x when 66 divided by x equals 19?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 66 and the quotient 19?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 66 ÷ 19 = 3.4736842105263

To prove this, let's compute 66 divided by 3.4736842105263: 66 3.4736842105263 = 19

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 66 divided by x gives a result of 19, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

66 x = 19

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 66 x x = 19 x
  2. 66 x x is equivalent to x x × 66 , which simplifies to 1 × 66 (or just 66 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 66 = 19 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 19: 66 19 = 19 x 19
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.4736842105263 = x (or x = 3.4736842105263 )

So, if the dividend is 66 and the quotient is 19, the divisor is 3.4736842105263.
