What is x when 59 divided by x equals 27?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 59 ÷ 27 = 2.1851851851852

To prove this, let's compute 59 divided by 2.1851851851852: $\frac{59}{2.1851851851852} = 27$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 59 divided by x gives a result of 27, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{59}{x} = 27$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{59 x}{x} = 27 x$
$\frac{59 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 59$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 59$ (or just $59$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $59 = 27 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 27: $\frac{59}{27} = \frac{27 x}{27}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.1851851851852 = x$ (or $x = 2.1851851851852$ )

So, if the dividend is 59 and the quotient is 27, the divisor is 2.1851851851852.
