What is x when 46 divided by x equals 38?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 46 ÷ 38 = 1.2105263157895

To prove this, let's compute 46 divided by 1.2105263157895: $\frac{46}{1.2105263157895} = 38$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 46 divided by x gives a result of 38, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{46}{x} = 38$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{46 x}{x} = 38 x$
$\frac{46 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 46$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 46$ (or just $46$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $46 = 38 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 38: $\frac{46}{38} = \frac{38 x}{38}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.2105263157895 = x$ (or $x = 1.2105263157895$ )

So, if the dividend is 46 and the quotient is 38, the divisor is 1.2105263157895.
