What is x when 24 divided by x equals 46?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 24 ÷ 46 = 0.52173913043478

To prove this, let's compute 24 divided by 0.52173913043478: $\frac{24}{0.52173913043478} = 46$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 24 divided by x gives a result of 46, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{24}{x} = 46$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{24 x}{x} = 46 x$
$\frac{24 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 24$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 24$ (or just $24$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $24 = 46 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 46: $\frac{24}{46} = \frac{46 x}{46}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.52173913043478 = x$ (or $x = 0.52173913043478$ )

So, if the dividend is 24 and the quotient is 46, the divisor is 0.52173913043478.
