What is x when 24 divided by x equals 59?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 24 ÷ 59 = 0.40677966101695

To prove this, let's compute 24 divided by 0.40677966101695: $\frac{24}{0.40677966101695} = 59$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 24 divided by x gives a result of 59, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{24}{x} = 59$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{24 x}{x} = 59 x$
$\frac{24 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 24$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 24$ (or just $24$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $24 = 59 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 59: $\frac{24}{59} = \frac{59 x}{59}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.40677966101695 = x$ (or $x = 0.40677966101695$ )

So, if the dividend is 24 and the quotient is 59, the divisor is 0.40677966101695.
