What value divided by 99 equals 98?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 99 and the quotient 98?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 99 × 98 = 9702

To prove this, let's compute 9702 divided by 99: 9702 99 = 98

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 99 gives a result of 98 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 99 = 98

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 99: 99 x 99 = 99 × 98
  2. 99 x 99 is equivalent to 99 99 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 99 × 98 = 9702

So, if the divisor is 99 and the quotient is 98, the dividend is 9702.
