What is x when 24 divided by x equals 47?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 24 ÷ 47 = 0.51063829787234

To prove this, let's compute 24 divided by 0.51063829787234: $\frac{24}{0.51063829787234} = 47$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 24 divided by x gives a result of 47, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{24}{x} = 47$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{24 x}{x} = 47 x$
$\frac{24 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 24$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 24$ (or just $24$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $24 = 47 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 47: $\frac{24}{47} = \frac{47 x}{47}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.51063829787234 = x$ (or $x = 0.51063829787234$ )

So, if the dividend is 24 and the quotient is 47, the divisor is 0.51063829787234.
