What is x when 50 divided by x equals 32?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 50 ÷ 32 = 1.5625

To prove this, let's compute 50 divided by 1.5625: $\frac{50}{1.5625} = 32$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 50 divided by x gives a result of 32, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{50}{x} = 32$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{50 x}{x} = 32 x$
$\frac{50 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 50$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 50$ (or just $50$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $50 = 32 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 32: $\frac{50}{32} = \frac{32 x}{32}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.5625 = x$ (or $x = 1.5625$ )

So, if the dividend is 50 and the quotient is 32, the divisor is 1.5625.
