What is x when 23 divided by x equals 7?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 23 ÷ 7 = 3.2857142857143

To prove this, let's compute 23 divided by 3.2857142857143: $\frac{23}{3.2857142857143} = 7$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 23 divided by x gives a result of 7, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{23}{x} = 7$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{23 x}{x} = 7 x$
$\frac{23 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 23$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 23$ (or just $23$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $23 = 7 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 7: $\frac{23}{7} = \frac{7 x}{7}$
Which gives, after simplification: $3.2857142857143 = x$ (or $x = 3.2857142857143$ )

So, if the dividend is 23 and the quotient is 7, the divisor is 3.2857142857143.
