What is x when 59 divided by x equals 52?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 59 ÷ 52 = 1.1346153846154

To prove this, let's compute 59 divided by 1.1346153846154: $\frac{59}{1.1346153846154} = 52$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 59 divided by x gives a result of 52, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{59}{x} = 52$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{59 x}{x} = 52 x$
$\frac{59 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 59$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 59$ (or just $59$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $59 = 52 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 52: $\frac{59}{52} = \frac{52 x}{52}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.1346153846154 = x$ (or $x = 1.1346153846154$ )

So, if the dividend is 59 and the quotient is 52, the divisor is 1.1346153846154.
