What is x when 47 divided by x equals 51?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 47 ÷ 51 = 0.92156862745098

To prove this, let's compute 47 divided by 0.92156862745098: $\frac{47}{0.92156862745098} = 51$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 47 divided by x gives a result of 51, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{47}{x} = 51$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{47 x}{x} = 51 x$
$\frac{47 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 47$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 47$ (or just $47$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $47 = 51 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 51: $\frac{47}{51} = \frac{51 x}{51}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.92156862745098 = x$ (or $x = 0.92156862745098$ )

So, if the dividend is 47 and the quotient is 51, the divisor is 0.92156862745098.
