What is x when 30 divided by x equals 54?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 30 and the quotient 54?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 30 ÷ 54 = 0.55555555555556

To prove this, let's compute 30 divided by 0.55555555555556: 30 0.55555555555556 = 54

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 30 divided by x gives a result of 54, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

30 x = 54

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 30 x x = 54 x
  2. 30 x x is equivalent to x x × 30 , which simplifies to 1 × 30 (or just 30 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 30 = 54 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 54: 30 54 = 54 x 54
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.55555555555556 = x (or x = 0.55555555555556 )

So, if the dividend is 30 and the quotient is 54, the divisor is 0.55555555555556.
