What is x when 46 divided by x equals 2?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 46 ÷ 2 = 23

To prove this, let's compute 46 divided by 23: $\frac{46}{23} = 2$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 46 divided by x gives a result of 2, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{46}{x} = 2$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{46 x}{x} = 2 x$
$\frac{46 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 46$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 46$ (or just $46$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $46 = 2 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 2: $\frac{46}{2} = \frac{2 x}{2}$
Which gives, after simplification: $23 = x$ (or $x = 23$ )

So, if the dividend is 46 and the quotient is 2, the divisor is 23.
