What is x when 41 divided by x equals 88?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 41 ÷ 88 = 0.46590909090909

To prove this, let's compute 41 divided by 0.46590909090909: $\frac{41}{0.46590909090909} = 88$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 41 divided by x gives a result of 88, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{41}{x} = 88$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{41 x}{x} = 88 x$
$\frac{41 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 41$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 41$ (or just $41$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $41 = 88 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 88: $\frac{41}{88} = \frac{88 x}{88}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.46590909090909 = x$ (or $x = 0.46590909090909$ )

So, if the dividend is 41 and the quotient is 88, the divisor is 0.46590909090909.
