What is x when 32 divided by x equals 53?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 32 ÷ 53 = 0.60377358490566

To prove this, let's compute 32 divided by 0.60377358490566: $\frac{32}{0.60377358490566} = 53$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 32 divided by x gives a result of 53, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{32}{x} = 53$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{32 x}{x} = 53 x$
$\frac{32 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 32$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 32$ (or just $32$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $32 = 53 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 53: $\frac{32}{53} = \frac{53 x}{53}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.60377358490566 = x$ (or $x = 0.60377358490566$ )

So, if the dividend is 32 and the quotient is 53, the divisor is 0.60377358490566.
