What is x when 58 divided by x equals 47?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 58 ÷ 47 = 1.2340425531915

To prove this, let's compute 58 divided by 1.2340425531915: $\frac{58}{1.2340425531915} = 47$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 58 divided by x gives a result of 47, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{58}{x} = 47$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{58 x}{x} = 47 x$
$\frac{58 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 58$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 58$ (or just $58$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $58 = 47 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 47: $\frac{58}{47} = \frac{47 x}{47}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.2340425531915 = x$ (or $x = 1.2340425531915$ )

So, if the dividend is 58 and the quotient is 47, the divisor is 1.2340425531915.
