What is x when 83 divided by x equals 43?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 83 and the quotient 43?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 83 ÷ 43 = 1.9302325581395

To prove this, let's compute 83 divided by 1.9302325581395: 83 1.9302325581395 = 43

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 83 divided by x gives a result of 43, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

83 x = 43

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 83 x x = 43 x
  2. 83 x x is equivalent to x x × 83 , which simplifies to 1 × 83 (or just 83 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 83 = 43 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 43: 83 43 = 43 x 43
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.9302325581395 = x (or x = 1.9302325581395 )

So, if the dividend is 83 and the quotient is 43, the divisor is 1.9302325581395.
