What is x when 70 divided by x equals 19?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 70 and the quotient 19?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 70 ÷ 19 = 3.6842105263158

To prove this, let's compute 70 divided by 3.6842105263158: 70 3.6842105263158 = 19

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 70 divided by x gives a result of 19, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

70 x = 19

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 70 x x = 19 x
  2. 70 x x is equivalent to x x × 70 , which simplifies to 1 × 70 (or just 70 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 70 = 19 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 19: 70 19 = 19 x 19
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.6842105263158 = x (or x = 3.6842105263158 )

So, if the dividend is 70 and the quotient is 19, the divisor is 3.6842105263158.
