What is x when 23 divided by x equals 50?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 23 ÷ 50 = 0.46

To prove this, let's compute 23 divided by 0.46: $\frac{23}{0.46} = 50$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 23 divided by x gives a result of 50, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{23}{x} = 50$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{23 x}{x} = 50 x$
$\frac{23 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 23$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 23$ (or just $23$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $23 = 50 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 50: $\frac{23}{50} = \frac{50 x}{50}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.46 = x$ (or $x = 0.46$ )

So, if the dividend is 23 and the quotient is 50, the divisor is 0.46.
