What is x when 56 divided by x equals 58?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 56 ÷ 58 = 0.96551724137931

To prove this, let's compute 56 divided by 0.96551724137931: $\frac{56}{0.96551724137931} = 58$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 56 divided by x gives a result of 58, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{56}{x} = 58$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{56 x}{x} = 58 x$
$\frac{56 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 56$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 56$ (or just $56$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $56 = 58 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 58: $\frac{56}{58} = \frac{58 x}{58}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.96551724137931 = x$ (or $x = 0.96551724137931$ )

So, if the dividend is 56 and the quotient is 58, the divisor is 0.96551724137931.
