What is x when 24 divided by x equals 89?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 24 and the quotient 89?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 24 ÷ 89 = 0.26966292134831

To prove this, let's compute 24 divided by 0.26966292134831: 24 0.26966292134831 = 89

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 24 divided by x gives a result of 89, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

24 x = 89

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 24 x x = 89 x
  2. 24 x x is equivalent to x x × 24 , which simplifies to 1 × 24 (or just 24 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 24 = 89 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 89: 24 89 = 89 x 89
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.26966292134831 = x (or x = 0.26966292134831 )

So, if the dividend is 24 and the quotient is 89, the divisor is 0.26966292134831.
