What is x when 47 divided by x equals 88?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 47 ÷ 88 = 0.53409090909091

To prove this, let's compute 47 divided by 0.53409090909091: $\frac{47}{0.53409090909091} = 88$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 47 divided by x gives a result of 88, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{47}{x} = 88$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{47 x}{x} = 88 x$
$\frac{47 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 47$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 47$ (or just $47$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $47 = 88 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 88: $\frac{47}{88} = \frac{88 x}{88}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.53409090909091 = x$ (or $x = 0.53409090909091$ )

So, if the dividend is 47 and the quotient is 88, the divisor is 0.53409090909091.
