What is x when 81 divided by x equals 19?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 81 and the quotient 19?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 81 ÷ 19 = 4.2631578947368

To prove this, let's compute 81 divided by 4.2631578947368: 81 4.2631578947368 = 19

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 81 divided by x gives a result of 19, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

81 x = 19

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 81 x x = 19 x
  2. 81 x x is equivalent to x x × 81 , which simplifies to 1 × 81 (or just 81 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 81 = 19 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 19: 81 19 = 19 x 19
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.2631578947368 = x (or x = 4.2631578947368 )

So, if the dividend is 81 and the quotient is 19, the divisor is 4.2631578947368.
