What is x when 82 divided by x equals 19?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 82 and the quotient 19?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 82 ÷ 19 = 4.3157894736842

To prove this, let's compute 82 divided by 4.3157894736842: 82 4.3157894736842 = 19

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 82 divided by x gives a result of 19, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

82 x = 19

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 82 x x = 19 x
  2. 82 x x is equivalent to x x × 82 , which simplifies to 1 × 82 (or just 82 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 82 = 19 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 19: 82 19 = 19 x 19
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.3157894736842 = x (or x = 4.3157894736842 )

So, if the dividend is 82 and the quotient is 19, the divisor is 4.3157894736842.
