What is x when 79 divided by x equals 54?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 79 ÷ 54 = 1.462962962963

To prove this, let's compute 79 divided by 1.462962962963: $\frac{79}{1.462962962963} = 54$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 79 divided by x gives a result of 54, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{79}{x} = 54$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{79 x}{x} = 54 x$
$\frac{79 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 79$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 79$ (or just $79$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $79 = 54 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 54: $\frac{79}{54} = \frac{54 x}{54}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.462962962963 = x$ (or $x = 1.462962962963$ )

So, if the dividend is 79 and the quotient is 54, the divisor is 1.462962962963.
