What is x when 88 divided by x equals 54?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 88 ÷ 54 = 1.6296296296296

To prove this, let's compute 88 divided by 1.6296296296296: $\frac{88}{1.6296296296296} = 54$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 88 divided by x gives a result of 54, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{88}{x} = 54$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{88 x}{x} = 54 x$
$\frac{88 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 88$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 88$ (or just $88$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $88 = 54 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 54: $\frac{88}{54} = \frac{54 x}{54}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.6296296296296 = x$ (or $x = 1.6296296296296$ )

So, if the dividend is 88 and the quotient is 54, the divisor is 1.6296296296296.
