What is x when 50 divided by x equals 79?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 50 ÷ 79 = 0.63291139240506

To prove this, let's compute 50 divided by 0.63291139240506: $\frac{50}{0.63291139240506} = 79$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 50 divided by x gives a result of 79, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{50}{x} = 79$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{50 x}{x} = 79 x$
$\frac{50 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 50$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 50$ (or just $50$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $50 = 79 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 79: $\frac{50}{79} = \frac{79 x}{79}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.63291139240506 = x$ (or $x = 0.63291139240506$ )

So, if the dividend is 50 and the quotient is 79, the divisor is 0.63291139240506.
