What is x when 79 divided by x equals 49?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 79 ÷ 49 = 1.6122448979592

To prove this, let's compute 79 divided by 1.6122448979592: $\frac{79}{1.6122448979592} = 49$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 79 divided by x gives a result of 49, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{79}{x} = 49$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{79 x}{x} = 49 x$
$\frac{79 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 79$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 79$ (or just $79$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $79 = 49 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 49: $\frac{79}{49} = \frac{49 x}{49}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.6122448979592 = x$ (or $x = 1.6122448979592$ )

So, if the dividend is 79 and the quotient is 49, the divisor is 1.6122448979592.
