What is x when 25 divided by x equals 53?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 25 and the quotient 53?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 25 ÷ 53 = 0.47169811320755

To prove this, let's compute 25 divided by 0.47169811320755: 25 0.47169811320755 = 53

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 25 divided by x gives a result of 53, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

25 x = 53

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 25 x x = 53 x
  2. 25 x x is equivalent to x x × 25 , which simplifies to 1 × 25 (or just 25 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 25 = 53 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 53: 25 53 = 53 x 53
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.47169811320755 = x (or x = 0.47169811320755 )

So, if the dividend is 25 and the quotient is 53, the divisor is 0.47169811320755.
