What is x when 90 divided by x equals 49?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 90 and the quotient 49?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 90 ÷ 49 = 1.8367346938776

To prove this, let's compute 90 divided by 1.8367346938776: 90 1.8367346938776 = 49

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 90 divided by x gives a result of 49, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

90 x = 49

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 90 x x = 49 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 = 49 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 49: 90 49 = 49 x 49
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.8367346938776 = x (or x = 1.8367346938776 )

So, if the dividend is 90 and the quotient is 49, the divisor is 1.8367346938776.
