What is x when 23 divided by x equals 53?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 23 ÷ 53 = 0.43396226415094

To prove this, let's compute 23 divided by 0.43396226415094: $\frac{23}{0.43396226415094} = 53$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 23 divided by x gives a result of 53, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{23}{x} = 53$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{23 x}{x} = 53 x$
$\frac{23 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 23$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 23$ (or just $23$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $23 = 53 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 53: $\frac{23}{53} = \frac{53 x}{53}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.43396226415094 = x$ (or $x = 0.43396226415094$ )

So, if the dividend is 23 and the quotient is 53, the divisor is 0.43396226415094.
