What is x when 84 divided by x equals 43?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 84 and the quotient 43?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 84 ÷ 43 = 1.953488372093

To prove this, let's compute 84 divided by 1.953488372093: 84 1.953488372093 = 43

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 84 divided by x gives a result of 43, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

84 x = 43

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 84 x x = 43 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 = 43 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 43: 84 43 = 43 x 43
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.953488372093 = x (or x = 1.953488372093 )

So, if the dividend is 84 and the quotient is 43, the divisor is 1.953488372093.
