What is x when 88 divided by x equals 58?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 88 ÷ 58 = 1.5172413793103

To prove this, let's compute 88 divided by 1.5172413793103: $\frac{88}{1.5172413793103} = 58$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 88 divided by x gives a result of 58, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{88}{x} = 58$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{88 x}{x} = 58 x$
$\frac{88 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 88$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 88$ (or just $88$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $88 = 58 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 58: $\frac{88}{58} = \frac{58 x}{58}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.5172413793103 = x$ (or $x = 1.5172413793103$ )

So, if the dividend is 88 and the quotient is 58, the divisor is 1.5172413793103.
