What is x when 57 divided by x equals 59?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 57 ÷ 59 = 0.96610169491525

To prove this, let's compute 57 divided by 0.96610169491525: $\frac{57}{0.96610169491525} = 59$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 57 divided by x gives a result of 59, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{57}{x} = 59$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{57 x}{x} = 59 x$
$\frac{57 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 57$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 57$ (or just $57$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $57 = 59 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 59: $\frac{57}{59} = \frac{59 x}{59}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.96610169491525 = x$ (or $x = 0.96610169491525$ )

So, if the dividend is 57 and the quotient is 59, the divisor is 0.96610169491525.
