What is x when 9 divided by x equals 34?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 9 and the quotient 34?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 9 ÷ 34 = 0.26470588235294

To prove this, let's compute 9 divided by 0.26470588235294: 9 0.26470588235294 = 34

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 9 divided by x gives a result of 34, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

9 x = 34

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 9 x x = 34 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 = 34 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 34: 9 34 = 34 x 34
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.26470588235294 = x (or x = 0.26470588235294 )

So, if the dividend is 9 and the quotient is 34, the divisor is 0.26470588235294.
