What is x when 29 divided by x equals 56?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 29 ÷ 56 = 0.51785714285714

To prove this, let's compute 29 divided by 0.51785714285714: $\frac{29}{0.51785714285714} = 56$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 29 divided by x gives a result of 56, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{29}{x} = 56$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{29 x}{x} = 56 x$
$\frac{29 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 29$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 29$ (or just $29$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $29 = 56 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 56: $\frac{29}{56} = \frac{56 x}{56}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.51785714285714 = x$ (or $x = 0.51785714285714$ )

So, if the dividend is 29 and the quotient is 56, the divisor is 0.51785714285714.
