What is x when 55 divided by x equals 54?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 55 ÷ 54 = 1.0185185185185

To prove this, let's compute 55 divided by 1.0185185185185: $\frac{55}{1.0185185185185} = 54$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 55 divided by x gives a result of 54, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{55}{x} = 54$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{55 x}{x} = 54 x$
$\frac{55 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 55$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 55$ (or just $55$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $55 = 54 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 54: $\frac{55}{54} = \frac{54 x}{54}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.0185185185185 = x$ (or $x = 1.0185185185185$ )

So, if the dividend is 55 and the quotient is 54, the divisor is 1.0185185185185.
