What is x when 31 divided by x equals 59?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 31 ÷ 59 = 0.52542372881356

To prove this, let's compute 31 divided by 0.52542372881356: $\frac{31}{0.52542372881356} = 59$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 31 divided by x gives a result of 59, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{31}{x} = 59$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{31 x}{x} = 59 x$
$\frac{31 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 31$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 31$ (or just $31$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $31 = 59 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 59: $\frac{31}{59} = \frac{59 x}{59}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.52542372881356 = x$ (or $x = 0.52542372881356$ )

So, if the dividend is 31 and the quotient is 59, the divisor is 0.52542372881356.
