What is x when 34 divided by x equals 56?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 34 ÷ 56 = 0.60714285714286

To prove this, let's compute 34 divided by 0.60714285714286: $\frac{34}{0.60714285714286} = 56$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 34 divided by x gives a result of 56, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{34}{x} = 56$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{34 x}{x} = 56 x$
$\frac{34 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 34$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 34$ (or just $34$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $34 = 56 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 56: $\frac{34}{56} = \frac{56 x}{56}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.60714285714286 = x$ (or $x = 0.60714285714286$ )

So, if the dividend is 34 and the quotient is 56, the divisor is 0.60714285714286.
