What is x when 52 divided by x equals 11?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 52 and the quotient 11?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 52 ÷ 11 = 4.7272727272727

To prove this, let's compute 52 divided by 4.7272727272727: 52 4.7272727272727 = 11

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 52 divided by x gives a result of 11, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

52 x = 11

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 52 x x = 11 x
  2. 52 x x is equivalent to x x × 52 , which simplifies to 1 × 52 (or just 52 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 52 = 11 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 11: 52 11 = 11 x 11
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.7272727272727 = x (or x = 4.7272727272727 )

So, if the dividend is 52 and the quotient is 11, the divisor is 4.7272727272727.
