What is x when 59 divided by x equals 97?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 59 and the quotient 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 59 ÷ 97 = 0.60824742268041

To prove this, let's compute 59 divided by 0.60824742268041: 59 0.60824742268041 = 97

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 59 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

59 x = 97

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 59 x x = 97 x
  2. 59 x x is equivalent to x x × 59 , which simplifies to 1 × 59 (or just 59 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 59 = 97 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 97: 59 97 = 97 x 97
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.60824742268041 = x (or x = 0.60824742268041 )

So, if the dividend is 59 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.60824742268041.
