What is x when 89 divided by x equals 2?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 89 ÷ 2 = 44.5

To prove this, let's compute 89 divided by 44.5: $\frac{89}{44.5} = 2$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 89 divided by x gives a result of 2, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{89}{x} = 2$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{89 x}{x} = 2 x$
$\frac{89 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 89$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 89$ (or just $89$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $89 = 2 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 2: $\frac{89}{2} = \frac{2 x}{2}$
Which gives, after simplification: $44.5 = x$ (or $x = 44.5$ )

So, if the dividend is 89 and the quotient is 2, the divisor is 44.5.
