What is x when 20 divided by x equals 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 20 ÷ 97 = 0.20618556701031

To prove this, let's compute 20 divided by 0.20618556701031: $\frac{20}{0.20618556701031} = 97$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 20 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{20}{x} = 97$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{20 x}{x} = 97 x$
$\frac{20 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 20$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 20$ (or just $20$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $20 = 97 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 97: $\frac{20}{97} = \frac{97 x}{97}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.20618556701031 = x$ (or $x = 0.20618556701031$ )

So, if the dividend is 20 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.20618556701031.
