What is x when 59 divided by x equals 32?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 59 ÷ 32 = 1.84375

To prove this, let's compute 59 divided by 1.84375: $\frac{59}{1.84375} = 32$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 59 divided by x gives a result of 32, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{59}{x} = 32$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{59 x}{x} = 32 x$
$\frac{59 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 59$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 59$ (or just $59$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $59 = 32 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 32: $\frac{59}{32} = \frac{32 x}{32}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.84375 = x$ (or $x = 1.84375$ )

So, if the dividend is 59 and the quotient is 32, the divisor is 1.84375.
