What is x when 82 divided by x equals 57?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 82 ÷ 57 = 1.4385964912281

To prove this, let's compute 82 divided by 1.4385964912281: $\frac{82}{1.4385964912281} = 57$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 82 divided by x gives a result of 57, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{82}{x} = 57$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{82 x}{x} = 57 x$
$\frac{82 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 82$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 82$ (or just $82$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $82 = 57 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 57: $\frac{82}{57} = \frac{57 x}{57}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.4385964912281 = x$ (or $x = 1.4385964912281$ )

So, if the dividend is 82 and the quotient is 57, the divisor is 1.4385964912281.
