What is x when 46 divided by x equals 51?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 46 ÷ 51 = 0.90196078431373

To prove this, let's compute 46 divided by 0.90196078431373: $\frac{46}{0.90196078431373} = 51$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 46 divided by x gives a result of 51, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{46}{x} = 51$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{46 x}{x} = 51 x$
$\frac{46 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 46$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 46$ (or just $46$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $46 = 51 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 51: $\frac{46}{51} = \frac{51 x}{51}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.90196078431373 = x$ (or $x = 0.90196078431373$ )

So, if the dividend is 46 and the quotient is 51, the divisor is 0.90196078431373.
