What two numbers have a product of 21 and a quotient of 1?

Here is how to get the answer to "What two numbers have a product of 21 and a quotient of 1?" We show you step-by-step how find the answer so you can solve problems like this on your own in the future.

We will call the two numbers we are looking for x and y, and we will start by making two equations like this:

Equation 1: Two numbers have a product of 21, means:

x • y = 21

Equation 2: Two numbers have a quotient of 1, means:

x / y = 1
x = 1y

Then, we put Equation 2 into Equation 1. We do this by substituting x in x • y = 21 with 1y, like this:

x • y = 21
1y • y = 21
y = 4.582576

Finally, since y = 4.582576, we put 4.582576 into Equation 1 by substituting y in x • y = 21 with 4.582576, like this:

x • 4.582576 = 21
x = 4.582576

Thus, the answer is "4.582576 and 4.582576" as illustrated here:

4.582576 • 4.582576 = 21

4.582576 / 4.582576 = 1

Note: Answers are rounded up to the nearest 6 decimals if necessary, so the answers may not be exact.
