What is x when 58 divided by x equals 28?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 58 ÷ 28 = 2.0714285714286

To prove this, let's compute 58 divided by 2.0714285714286: $\frac{58}{2.0714285714286} = 28$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 58 divided by x gives a result of 28, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{58}{x} = 28$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{58 x}{x} = 28 x$
$\frac{58 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 58$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 58$ (or just $58$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $58 = 28 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 28: $\frac{58}{28} = \frac{28 x}{28}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.0714285714286 = x$ (or $x = 2.0714285714286$ )

So, if the dividend is 58 and the quotient is 28, the divisor is 2.0714285714286.
