What is x when 50 divided by x equals 51?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 50 ÷ 51 = 0.98039215686275

To prove this, let's compute 50 divided by 0.98039215686275: $\frac{50}{0.98039215686275} = 51$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 50 divided by x gives a result of 51, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{50}{x} = 51$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{50 x}{x} = 51 x$
$\frac{50 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 50$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 50$ (or just $50$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $50 = 51 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 51: $\frac{50}{51} = \frac{51 x}{51}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.98039215686275 = x$ (or $x = 0.98039215686275$ )

So, if the dividend is 50 and the quotient is 51, the divisor is 0.98039215686275.
