What is x when 52 divided by x equals 23?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 52 ÷ 23 = 2.2608695652174

To prove this, let's compute 52 divided by 2.2608695652174: $\frac{52}{2.2608695652174} = 23$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 52 divided by x gives a result of 23, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{52}{x} = 23$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{52 x}{x} = 23 x$
$\frac{52 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 52$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 52$ (or just $52$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $52 = 23 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 23: $\frac{52}{23} = \frac{23 x}{23}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.2608695652174 = x$ (or $x = 2.2608695652174$ )

So, if the dividend is 52 and the quotient is 23, the divisor is 2.2608695652174.
