What is x when 47 divided by x equals 10?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 47 ÷ 10 = 4.7

To prove this, let's compute 47 divided by 4.7: $\frac{47}{4.7} = 10$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 47 divided by x gives a result of 10, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{47}{x} = 10$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{47 x}{x} = 10 x$
$\frac{47 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 47$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 47$ (or just $47$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $47 = 10 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 10: $\frac{47}{10} = \frac{10 x}{10}$
Which gives, after simplification: $4.7 = x$ (or $x = 4.7$ )

So, if the dividend is 47 and the quotient is 10, the divisor is 4.7.
