What is x when 70 divided by x equals 91?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 70 and the quotient 91?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 70 ÷ 91 = 0.76923076923077

To prove this, let's compute 70 divided by 0.76923076923077: 70 0.76923076923077 = 91

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 70 divided by x gives a result of 91, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

70 x = 91

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 70 x x = 91 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 = 91 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 91: 70 91 = 91 x 91
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.76923076923077 = x (or x = 0.76923076923077 )

So, if the dividend is 70 and the quotient is 91, the divisor is 0.76923076923077.
