What is x when 11 divided by x equals 89?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 11 and the quotient 89?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 11 ÷ 89 = 0.12359550561798

To prove this, let's compute 11 divided by 0.12359550561798: 11 0.12359550561798 = 89

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 11 divided by x gives a result of 89, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

11 x = 89

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 11 x x = 89 x
  2. 11 x x is equivalent to x x × 11 , which simplifies to 1 × 11 (or just 11 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 11 = 89 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 89: 11 89 = 89 x 89
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.12359550561798 = x (or x = 0.12359550561798 )

So, if the dividend is 11 and the quotient is 89, the divisor is 0.12359550561798.
