What is x when 49 divided by x equals 83?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 49 ÷ 83 = 0.59036144578313

To prove this, let's compute 49 divided by 0.59036144578313: $\frac{49}{0.59036144578313} = 83$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 49 divided by x gives a result of 83, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{49}{x} = 83$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{49 x}{x} = 83 x$
$\frac{49 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 49$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 49$ (or just $49$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $49 = 83 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 83: $\frac{49}{83} = \frac{83 x}{83}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.59036144578313 = x$ (or $x = 0.59036144578313$ )

So, if the dividend is 49 and the quotient is 83, the divisor is 0.59036144578313.
