What is x when 34 divided by x equals 54?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 34 and the quotient 54?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 34 ÷ 54 = 0.62962962962963

To prove this, let's compute 34 divided by 0.62962962962963: 34 0.62962962962963 = 54

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 34 divided by x gives a result of 54, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

34 x = 54

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 34 x x = 54 x
  2. 34 x x is equivalent to x x × 34 , which simplifies to 1 × 34 (or just 34 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 34 = 54 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 54: 34 54 = 54 x 54
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.62962962962963 = x (or x = 0.62962962962963 )

So, if the dividend is 34 and the quotient is 54, the divisor is 0.62962962962963.
