What is x when 88 divided by x equals 39?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 88 ÷ 39 = 2.2564102564103

To prove this, let's compute 88 divided by 2.2564102564103: $\frac{88}{2.2564102564103} = 39$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 88 divided by x gives a result of 39, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{88}{x} = 39$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{88 x}{x} = 39 x$
$\frac{88 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 88$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 88$ (or just $88$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $88 = 39 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 39: $\frac{88}{39} = \frac{39 x}{39}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.2564102564103 = x$ (or $x = 2.2564102564103$ )

So, if the dividend is 88 and the quotient is 39, the divisor is 2.2564102564103.
