What is x when 47 divided by x equals 23?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 47 ÷ 23 = 2.0434782608696

To prove this, let's compute 47 divided by 2.0434782608696: $\frac{47}{2.0434782608696} = 23$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 47 divided by x gives a result of 23, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{47}{x} = 23$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{47 x}{x} = 23 x$
$\frac{47 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 47$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 47$ (or just $47$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $47 = 23 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 23: $\frac{47}{23} = \frac{23 x}{23}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.0434782608696 = x$ (or $x = 2.0434782608696$ )

So, if the dividend is 47 and the quotient is 23, the divisor is 2.0434782608696.
