What is x when 21 divided by x equals 58?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 21 ÷ 58 = 0.36206896551724

To prove this, let's compute 21 divided by 0.36206896551724: $\frac{21}{0.36206896551724} = 58$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 21 divided by x gives a result of 58, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{21}{x} = 58$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{21 x}{x} = 58 x$
$\frac{21 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 21$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 21$ (or just $21$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $21 = 58 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 58: $\frac{21}{58} = \frac{58 x}{58}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.36206896551724 = x$ (or $x = 0.36206896551724$ )

So, if the dividend is 21 and the quotient is 58, the divisor is 0.36206896551724.
