What is x when 70 divided by x equals 71?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 70 ÷ 71 = 0.98591549295775

To prove this, let's compute 70 divided by 0.98591549295775: $\frac{70}{0.98591549295775} = 71$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 70 divided by x gives a result of 71, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{70}{x} = 71$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{70 x}{x} = 71 x$
$\frac{70 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 70$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 70$ (or just $70$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $70 = 71 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 71: $\frac{70}{71} = \frac{71 x}{71}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.98591549295775 = x$ (or $x = 0.98591549295775$ )

So, if the dividend is 70 and the quotient is 71, the divisor is 0.98591549295775.
