What is x when 80 divided by x equals 43?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 80 and the quotient 43?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 80 ÷ 43 = 1.8604651162791

To prove this, let's compute 80 divided by 1.8604651162791: 80 1.8604651162791 = 43

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 80 divided by x gives a result of 43, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

80 x = 43

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 80 x x = 43 x
  2. 80 x x is equivalent to x x × 80 , which simplifies to 1 × 80 (or just 80 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 80 = 43 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 43: 80 43 = 43 x 43
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.8604651162791 = x (or x = 1.8604651162791 )

So, if the dividend is 80 and the quotient is 43, the divisor is 1.8604651162791.
