What is x when 53 divided by x equals 22?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 53 ÷ 22 = 2.4090909090909

To prove this, let's compute 53 divided by 2.4090909090909: $\frac{53}{2.4090909090909} = 22$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 53 divided by x gives a result of 22, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{53}{x} = 22$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{53 x}{x} = 22 x$
$\frac{53 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 53$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 53$ (or just $53$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $53 = 22 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 22: $\frac{53}{22} = \frac{22 x}{22}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.4090909090909 = x$ (or $x = 2.4090909090909$ )

So, if the dividend is 53 and the quotient is 22, the divisor is 2.4090909090909.
