What is x when 29 divided by x equals 54?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 29 and the quotient 54?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 29 ÷ 54 = 0.53703703703704

To prove this, let's compute 29 divided by 0.53703703703704: 29 0.53703703703704 = 54

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 29 divided by x gives a result of 54, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

29 x = 54

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 29 x x = 54 x
  2. 29 x x is equivalent to x x × 29 , which simplifies to 1 × 29 (or just 29 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 29 = 54 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 54: 29 54 = 54 x 54
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.53703703703704 = x (or x = 0.53703703703704 )

So, if the dividend is 29 and the quotient is 54, the divisor is 0.53703703703704.
