What is x when 32 divided by x equals 52?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 32 ÷ 52 = 0.61538461538462

To prove this, let's compute 32 divided by 0.61538461538462: $\frac{32}{0.61538461538462} = 52$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 32 divided by x gives a result of 52, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{32}{x} = 52$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{32 x}{x} = 52 x$
$\frac{32 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 32$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 32$ (or just $32$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $32 = 52 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 52: $\frac{32}{52} = \frac{52 x}{52}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.61538461538462 = x$ (or $x = 0.61538461538462$ )

So, if the dividend is 32 and the quotient is 52, the divisor is 0.61538461538462.
