What is x when 55 divided by x equals 52?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 55 ÷ 52 = 1.0576923076923

To prove this, let's compute 55 divided by 1.0576923076923: $\frac{55}{1.0576923076923} = 52$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 55 divided by x gives a result of 52, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{55}{x} = 52$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{55 x}{x} = 52 x$
$\frac{55 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 55$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 55$ (or just $55$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $55 = 52 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 52: $\frac{55}{52} = \frac{52 x}{52}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.0576923076923 = x$ (or $x = 1.0576923076923$ )

So, if the dividend is 55 and the quotient is 52, the divisor is 1.0576923076923.
