What is x when 52 divided by x equals 45?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 52 ÷ 45 = 1.1555555555556

To prove this, let's compute 52 divided by 1.1555555555556: $\frac{52}{1.1555555555556} = 45$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 52 divided by x gives a result of 45, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{52}{x} = 45$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{52 x}{x} = 45 x$
$\frac{52 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 52$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 52$ (or just $52$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $52 = 45 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 45: $\frac{52}{45} = \frac{45 x}{45}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.1555555555556 = x$ (or $x = 1.1555555555556$ )

So, if the dividend is 52 and the quotient is 45, the divisor is 1.1555555555556.
