What is x when 70 divided by x equals 43?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 70 and the quotient 43?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 70 ÷ 43 = 1.6279069767442

To prove this, let's compute 70 divided by 1.6279069767442: 70 1.6279069767442 = 43

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 70 divided by x gives a result of 43, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

70 x = 43

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 70 x x = 43 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 = 43 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 43: 70 43 = 43 x 43
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.6279069767442 = x (or x = 1.6279069767442 )

So, if the dividend is 70 and the quotient is 43, the divisor is 1.6279069767442.
