What is x when 28 divided by x equals 82?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 28 ÷ 82 = 0.34146341463415

To prove this, let's compute 28 divided by 0.34146341463415: $\frac{28}{0.34146341463415} = 82$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 28 divided by x gives a result of 82, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{28}{x} = 82$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{28 x}{x} = 82 x$
$\frac{28 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 28$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 28$ (or just $28$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $28 = 82 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 82: $\frac{28}{82} = \frac{82 x}{82}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.34146341463415 = x$ (or $x = 0.34146341463415$ )

So, if the dividend is 28 and the quotient is 82, the divisor is 0.34146341463415.
