What is x when 50 divided by x equals 54?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 50 and the quotient 54?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 50 ÷ 54 = 0.92592592592593

To prove this, let's compute 50 divided by 0.92592592592593: 50 0.92592592592593 = 54

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 50 divided by x gives a result of 54, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

50 x = 54

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 50 x x = 54 x
  2. 50 x x is equivalent to x x × 50 , which simplifies to 1 × 50 (or just 50 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 50 = 54 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 54: 50 54 = 54 x 54
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.92592592592593 = x (or x = 0.92592592592593 )

So, if the dividend is 50 and the quotient is 54, the divisor is 0.92592592592593.
