What is x when 50 divided by x equals 77?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 50 ÷ 77 = 0.64935064935065

To prove this, let's compute 50 divided by 0.64935064935065: $\frac{50}{0.64935064935065} = 77$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 50 divided by x gives a result of 77, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{50}{x} = 77$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{50 x}{x} = 77 x$
$\frac{50 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 50$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 50$ (or just $50$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $50 = 77 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 77: $\frac{50}{77} = \frac{77 x}{77}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.64935064935065 = x$ (or $x = 0.64935064935065$ )

So, if the dividend is 50 and the quotient is 77, the divisor is 0.64935064935065.
