What is x when 46 divided by x equals 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 46 ÷ 97 = 0.47422680412371

To prove this, let's compute 46 divided by 0.47422680412371: $\frac{46}{0.47422680412371} = 97$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 46 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{46}{x} = 97$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{46 x}{x} = 97 x$
$\frac{46 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 46$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 46$ (or just $46$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $46 = 97 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 97: $\frac{46}{97} = \frac{97 x}{97}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.47422680412371 = x$ (or $x = 0.47422680412371$ )

So, if the dividend is 46 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.47422680412371.
