What is x when 90 divided by x equals 19?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 90 and the quotient 19?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 90 ÷ 19 = 4.7368421052632

To prove this, let's compute 90 divided by 4.7368421052632: 90 4.7368421052632 = 19

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 90 divided by x gives a result of 19, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

90 x = 19

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 90 x x = 19 x
  2. 90 x x is equivalent to x x × 90 , which simplifies to 1 × 90 (or just 90 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 90 = 19 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 19: 90 19 = 19 x 19
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.7368421052632 = x (or x = 4.7368421052632 )

So, if the dividend is 90 and the quotient is 19, the divisor is 4.7368421052632.
