What is x when 50 divided by x equals 39?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 50 ÷ 39 = 1.2820512820513

To prove this, let's compute 50 divided by 1.2820512820513: $\frac{50}{1.2820512820513} = 39$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 50 divided by x gives a result of 39, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{50}{x} = 39$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{50 x}{x} = 39 x$
$\frac{50 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 50$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 50$ (or just $50$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $50 = 39 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 39: $\frac{50}{39} = \frac{39 x}{39}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.2820512820513 = x$ (or $x = 1.2820512820513$ )

So, if the dividend is 50 and the quotient is 39, the divisor is 1.2820512820513.
