What is x when 58 divided by x equals 36?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 58 ÷ 36 = 1.6111111111111

To prove this, let's compute 58 divided by 1.6111111111111: $\frac{58}{1.6111111111111} = 36$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 58 divided by x gives a result of 36, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{58}{x} = 36$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{58 x}{x} = 36 x$
$\frac{58 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 58$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 58$ (or just $58$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $58 = 36 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 36: $\frac{58}{36} = \frac{36 x}{36}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.6111111111111 = x$ (or $x = 1.6111111111111$ )

So, if the dividend is 58 and the quotient is 36, the divisor is 1.6111111111111.
