What is x when 71 divided by x equals 11?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 71 and the quotient 11?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 71 ÷ 11 = 6.4545454545455

To prove this, let's compute 71 divided by 6.4545454545455: 71 6.4545454545455 = 11

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 71 divided by x gives a result of 11, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

71 x = 11

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 71 x x = 11 x
  2. 71 x x is equivalent to x x × 71 , which simplifies to 1 × 71 (or just 71 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 71 = 11 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 11: 71 11 = 11 x 11
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 6.4545454545455 = x (or x = 6.4545454545455 )

So, if the dividend is 71 and the quotient is 11, the divisor is 6.4545454545455.
