What is x when 70 divided by x equals 59?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 70 ÷ 59 = 1.1864406779661

To prove this, let's compute 70 divided by 1.1864406779661: $\frac{70}{1.1864406779661} = 59$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 70 divided by x gives a result of 59, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{70}{x} = 59$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{70 x}{x} = 59 x$
$\frac{70 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 70$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 70$ (or just $70$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $70 = 59 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 59: $\frac{70}{59} = \frac{59 x}{59}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.1864406779661 = x$ (or $x = 1.1864406779661$ )

So, if the dividend is 70 and the quotient is 59, the divisor is 1.1864406779661.
