What is x when 71 divided by x equals 32?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 71 ÷ 32 = 2.21875

To prove this, let's compute 71 divided by 2.21875: $\frac{71}{2.21875} = 32$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 71 divided by x gives a result of 32, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{71}{x} = 32$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{71 x}{x} = 32 x$
$\frac{71 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 71$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 71$ (or just $71$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $71 = 32 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 32: $\frac{71}{32} = \frac{32 x}{32}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.21875 = x$ (or $x = 2.21875$ )

So, if the dividend is 71 and the quotient is 32, the divisor is 2.21875.
