What is x when 50 divided by x equals 18?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 50 ÷ 18 = 2.7777777777778

To prove this, let's compute 50 divided by 2.7777777777778: $\frac{50}{2.7777777777778} = 18$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 50 divided by x gives a result of 18, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{50}{x} = 18$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{50 x}{x} = 18 x$
$\frac{50 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 50$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 50$ (or just $50$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $50 = 18 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 18: $\frac{50}{18} = \frac{18 x}{18}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.7777777777778 = x$ (or $x = 2.7777777777778$ )

So, if the dividend is 50 and the quotient is 18, the divisor is 2.7777777777778.
