What is x when 53 divided by x equals 35?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 53 ÷ 35 = 1.5142857142857

To prove this, let's compute 53 divided by 1.5142857142857: $\frac{53}{1.5142857142857} = 35$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 53 divided by x gives a result of 35, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{53}{x} = 35$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{53 x}{x} = 35 x$
$\frac{53 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 53$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 53$ (or just $53$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $53 = 35 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 35: $\frac{53}{35} = \frac{35 x}{35}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.5142857142857 = x$ (or $x = 1.5142857142857$ )

So, if the dividend is 53 and the quotient is 35, the divisor is 1.5142857142857.
