What is x when 59 divided by x equals 82?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 59 ÷ 82 = 0.71951219512195

To prove this, let's compute 59 divided by 0.71951219512195: $\frac{59}{0.71951219512195} = 82$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 59 divided by x gives a result of 82, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{59}{x} = 82$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{59 x}{x} = 82 x$
$\frac{59 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 59$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 59$ (or just $59$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $59 = 82 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 82: $\frac{59}{82} = \frac{82 x}{82}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.71951219512195 = x$ (or $x = 0.71951219512195$ )

So, if the dividend is 59 and the quotient is 82, the divisor is 0.71951219512195.
