What is x when 70 divided by x equals 34?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 70 and the quotient 34?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 70 ÷ 34 = 2.0588235294118

To prove this, let's compute 70 divided by 2.0588235294118: 70 2.0588235294118 = 34

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 70 divided by x gives a result of 34, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

70 x = 34

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 70 x x = 34 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 = 34 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 34: 70 34 = 34 x 34
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.0588235294118 = x (or x = 2.0588235294118 )

So, if the dividend is 70 and the quotient is 34, the divisor is 2.0588235294118.
