What is x when 47 divided by x equals 9?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 47 ÷ 9 = 5.2222222222222

To prove this, let's compute 47 divided by 5.2222222222222: $\frac{47}{5.2222222222222} = 9$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 47 divided by x gives a result of 9, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{47}{x} = 9$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{47 x}{x} = 9 x$
$\frac{47 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 47$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 47$ (or just $47$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $47 = 9 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 9: $\frac{47}{9} = \frac{9 x}{9}$
Which gives, after simplification: $5.2222222222222 = x$ (or $x = 5.2222222222222$ )

So, if the dividend is 47 and the quotient is 9, the divisor is 5.2222222222222.
