What is x when 16 divided by x equals 57?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 16 ÷ 57 = 0.28070175438596

To prove this, let's compute 16 divided by 0.28070175438596: $\frac{16}{0.28070175438596} = 57$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 16 divided by x gives a result of 57, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{16}{x} = 57$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{16 x}{x} = 57 x$
$\frac{16 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 16$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 16$ (or just $16$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $16 = 57 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 57: $\frac{16}{57} = \frac{57 x}{57}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.28070175438596 = x$ (or $x = 0.28070175438596$ )

So, if the dividend is 16 and the quotient is 57, the divisor is 0.28070175438596.
