What is x when 84 divided by x equals 19?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 84 and the quotient 19?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 84 ÷ 19 = 4.4210526315789

To prove this, let's compute 84 divided by 4.4210526315789: 84 4.4210526315789 = 19

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 84 divided by x gives a result of 19, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

84 x = 19

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 84 x x = 19 x
  2. 84 x x is equivalent to x x × 84 , which simplifies to 1 × 84 (or just 84 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 84 = 19 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 19: 84 19 = 19 x 19
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.4210526315789 = x (or x = 4.4210526315789 )

So, if the dividend is 84 and the quotient is 19, the divisor is 4.4210526315789.
