What is x when 71 divided by x equals 43?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 71 ÷ 43 = 1.6511627906977

To prove this, let's compute 71 divided by 1.6511627906977: $\frac{71}{1.6511627906977} = 43$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 71 divided by x gives a result of 43, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{71}{x} = 43$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{71 x}{x} = 43 x$
$\frac{71 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 71$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 71$ (or just $71$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $71 = 43 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 43: $\frac{71}{43} = \frac{43 x}{43}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.6511627906977 = x$ (or $x = 1.6511627906977$ )

So, if the dividend is 71 and the quotient is 43, the divisor is 1.6511627906977.
