What is x when 52 divided by x equals 50?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 52 ÷ 50 = 1.04

To prove this, let's compute 52 divided by 1.04: $\frac{52}{1.04} = 50$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 52 divided by x gives a result of 50, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{52}{x} = 50$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{52 x}{x} = 50 x$
$\frac{52 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 52$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 52$ (or just $52$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $52 = 50 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 50: $\frac{52}{50} = \frac{50 x}{50}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.04 = x$ (or $x = 1.04$ )

So, if the dividend is 52 and the quotient is 50, the divisor is 1.04.
