What is x when 59 divided by x equals 1?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 59 and the quotient 1?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 59 ÷ 1 = 59

To prove this, let's compute 59 divided by 59: 59 59 = 1

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 59 divided by x gives a result of 1, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

59 x = 1

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 59 x x = 1 x
  2. 59 x x is equivalent to x x × 59 , which simplifies to 1 × 59 (or just 59 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 59 = 1 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 1: 59 1 = 1 x 1
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 59 = x (or x = 59 )

So, if the dividend is 59 and the quotient is 1, the divisor is 59.
