What is x when 24 divided by x equals 88?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 24 ÷ 88 = 0.27272727272727

To prove this, let's compute 24 divided by 0.27272727272727: $\frac{24}{0.27272727272727} = 88$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 24 divided by x gives a result of 88, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{24}{x} = 88$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{24 x}{x} = 88 x$
$\frac{24 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 24$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 24$ (or just $24$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $24 = 88 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 88: $\frac{24}{88} = \frac{88 x}{88}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.27272727272727 = x$ (or $x = 0.27272727272727$ )

So, if the dividend is 24 and the quotient is 88, the divisor is 0.27272727272727.
