What is x when 81 divided by x equals 25?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 81 and the quotient 25?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 81 ÷ 25 = 3.24

To prove this, let's compute 81 divided by 3.24: 81 3.24 = 25

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 81 divided by x gives a result of 25, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

81 x = 25

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 81 x x = 25 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 = 25 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 25: 81 25 = 25 x 25
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.24 = x (or x = 3.24 )

So, if the dividend is 81 and the quotient is 25, the divisor is 3.24.
