What is x when 81 divided by x equals 57?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 81 and the quotient 57?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 81 ÷ 57 = 1.4210526315789

To prove this, let's compute 81 divided by 1.4210526315789: 81 1.4210526315789 = 57

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 81 divided by x gives a result of 57, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

81 x = 57

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 81 x x = 57 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 = 57 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 57: 81 57 = 57 x 57
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.4210526315789 = x (or x = 1.4210526315789 )

So, if the dividend is 81 and the quotient is 57, the divisor is 1.4210526315789.
