What is x when 83 divided by x equals 59?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 83 ÷ 59 = 1.4067796610169

To prove this, let's compute 83 divided by 1.4067796610169: $\frac{83}{1.4067796610169} = 59$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 83 divided by x gives a result of 59, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{83}{x} = 59$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{83 x}{x} = 59 x$
$\frac{83 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 83$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 83$ (or just $83$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $83 = 59 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 59: $\frac{83}{59} = \frac{59 x}{59}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.4067796610169 = x$ (or $x = 1.4067796610169$ )

So, if the dividend is 83 and the quotient is 59, the divisor is 1.4067796610169.
