What is x when 52 divided by x equals 30?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 52 and the quotient 30?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 52 ÷ 30 = 1.7333333333333

To prove this, let's compute 52 divided by 1.7333333333333: 52 1.7333333333333 = 30

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 52 divided by x gives a result of 30, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

52 x = 30

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 52 x x = 30 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 = 30 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 30: 52 30 = 30 x 30
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.7333333333333 = x (or x = 1.7333333333333 )

So, if the dividend is 52 and the quotient is 30, the divisor is 1.7333333333333.
