What is x when 59 divided by x equals 39?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 59 ÷ 39 = 1.5128205128205

To prove this, let's compute 59 divided by 1.5128205128205: $\frac{59}{1.5128205128205} = 39$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 59 divided by x gives a result of 39, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{59}{x} = 39$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{59 x}{x} = 39 x$
$\frac{59 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 59$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 59$ (or just $59$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $59 = 39 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 39: $\frac{59}{39} = \frac{39 x}{39}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.5128205128205 = x$ (or $x = 1.5128205128205$ )

So, if the dividend is 59 and the quotient is 39, the divisor is 1.5128205128205.
