What is x when 55 divided by x equals 29?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 55 ÷ 29 = 1.8965517241379

To prove this, let's compute 55 divided by 1.8965517241379: $\frac{55}{1.8965517241379} = 29$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 55 divided by x gives a result of 29, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{55}{x} = 29$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{55 x}{x} = 29 x$
$\frac{55 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 55$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 55$ (or just $55$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $55 = 29 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 29: $\frac{55}{29} = \frac{29 x}{29}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.8965517241379 = x$ (or $x = 1.8965517241379$ )

So, if the dividend is 55 and the quotient is 29, the divisor is 1.8965517241379.
