What is x when 56 divided by x equals 57?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 56 ÷ 57 = 0.98245614035088

To prove this, let's compute 56 divided by 0.98245614035088: $\frac{56}{0.98245614035088} = 57$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 56 divided by x gives a result of 57, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{56}{x} = 57$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{56 x}{x} = 57 x$
$\frac{56 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 56$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 56$ (or just $56$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $56 = 57 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 57: $\frac{56}{57} = \frac{57 x}{57}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.98245614035088 = x$ (or $x = 0.98245614035088$ )

So, if the dividend is 56 and the quotient is 57, the divisor is 0.98245614035088.
