What is x when 70 divided by x equals 49?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 70 ÷ 49 = 1.4285714285714

To prove this, let's compute 70 divided by 1.4285714285714: $\frac{70}{1.4285714285714} = 49$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 70 divided by x gives a result of 49, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{70}{x} = 49$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{70 x}{x} = 49 x$
$\frac{70 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 70$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 70$ (or just $70$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $70 = 49 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 49: $\frac{70}{49} = \frac{49 x}{49}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.4285714285714 = x$ (or $x = 1.4285714285714$ )

So, if the dividend is 70 and the quotient is 49, the divisor is 1.4285714285714.
