What is x when 54 divided by x equals 59?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 54 ÷ 59 = 0.91525423728814

To prove this, let's compute 54 divided by 0.91525423728814: $\frac{54}{0.91525423728814} = 59$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 54 divided by x gives a result of 59, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{54}{x} = 59$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{54 x}{x} = 59 x$
$\frac{54 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 54$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 54$ (or just $54$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $54 = 59 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 59: $\frac{54}{59} = \frac{59 x}{59}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.91525423728814 = x$ (or $x = 0.91525423728814$ )

So, if the dividend is 54 and the quotient is 59, the divisor is 0.91525423728814.
