What is x when 9 divided by x equals 19?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 9 and the quotient 19?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 9 ÷ 19 = 0.47368421052632

To prove this, let's compute 9 divided by 0.47368421052632: 9 0.47368421052632 = 19

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 9 divided by x gives a result of 19, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

9 x = 19

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 9 x x = 19 x
  2. 9 x x is equivalent to x x × 9 , which simplifies to 1 × 9 (or just 9 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 9 = 19 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 19: 9 19 = 19 x 19
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.47368421052632 = x (or x = 0.47368421052632 )

So, if the dividend is 9 and the quotient is 19, the divisor is 0.47368421052632.
