What is x when 71 divided by x equals 34?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 71 ÷ 34 = 2.0882352941176

To prove this, let's compute 71 divided by 2.0882352941176: $\frac{71}{2.0882352941176} = 34$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 71 divided by x gives a result of 34, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{71}{x} = 34$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{71 x}{x} = 34 x$
$\frac{71 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 71$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 71$ (or just $71$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $71 = 34 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 34: $\frac{71}{34} = \frac{34 x}{34}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.0882352941176 = x$ (or $x = 2.0882352941176$ )

So, if the dividend is 71 and the quotient is 34, the divisor is 2.0882352941176.
