What is x when 7 divided by x equals 39?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 7 ÷ 39 = 0.17948717948718

To prove this, let's compute 7 divided by 0.17948717948718: $\frac{7}{0.17948717948718} = 39$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 7 divided by x gives a result of 39, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{7}{x} = 39$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{7 x}{x} = 39 x$
$\frac{7 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 7$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 7$ (or just $7$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $7 = 39 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 39: $\frac{7}{39} = \frac{39 x}{39}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.17948717948718 = x$ (or $x = 0.17948717948718$ )

So, if the dividend is 7 and the quotient is 39, the divisor is 0.17948717948718.
