What is x when 60 divided by x equals 59?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 60 ÷ 59 = 1.0169491525424

To prove this, let's compute 60 divided by 1.0169491525424: $\frac{60}{1.0169491525424} = 59$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 60 divided by x gives a result of 59, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{60}{x} = 59$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{60 x}{x} = 59 x$
$\frac{60 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 60$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 60$ (or just $60$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $60 = 59 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 59: $\frac{60}{59} = \frac{59 x}{59}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.0169491525424 = x$ (or $x = 1.0169491525424$ )

So, if the dividend is 60 and the quotient is 59, the divisor is 1.0169491525424.
