What is x when 52 divided by x equals 89?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 52 ÷ 89 = 0.58426966292135

To prove this, let's compute 52 divided by 0.58426966292135: $\frac{52}{0.58426966292135} = 89$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 52 divided by x gives a result of 89, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{52}{x} = 89$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{52 x}{x} = 89 x$
$\frac{52 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 52$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 52$ (or just $52$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $52 = 89 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 89: $\frac{52}{89} = \frac{89 x}{89}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.58426966292135 = x$ (or $x = 0.58426966292135$ )

So, if the dividend is 52 and the quotient is 89, the divisor is 0.58426966292135.
