What is x when 54 divided by x equals 58?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 54 and the quotient 58?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 54 ÷ 58 = 0.93103448275862

To prove this, let's compute 54 divided by 0.93103448275862: 54 0.93103448275862 = 58

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 54 divided by x gives a result of 58, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

54 x = 58

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 54 x x = 58 x
  2. 54 x x is equivalent to x x × 54 , which simplifies to 1 × 54 (or just 54 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 54 = 58 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 58: 54 58 = 58 x 58
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.93103448275862 = x (or x = 0.93103448275862 )

So, if the dividend is 54 and the quotient is 58, the divisor is 0.93103448275862.
