What is x when 39 divided by x equals 23?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 39 ÷ 23 = 1.695652173913

To prove this, let's compute 39 divided by 1.695652173913: $\frac{39}{1.695652173913} = 23$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 39 divided by x gives a result of 23, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{39}{x} = 23$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{39 x}{x} = 23 x$
$\frac{39 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 39$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 39$ (or just $39$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $39 = 23 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 23: $\frac{39}{23} = \frac{23 x}{23}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.695652173913 = x$ (or $x = 1.695652173913$ )

So, if the dividend is 39 and the quotient is 23, the divisor is 1.695652173913.
