What is x when 28 divided by x equals 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 28 ÷ 97 = 0.28865979381443

To prove this, let's compute 28 divided by 0.28865979381443: $\frac{28}{0.28865979381443} = 97$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 28 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{28}{x} = 97$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{28 x}{x} = 97 x$
$\frac{28 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 28$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 28$ (or just $28$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $28 = 97 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 97: $\frac{28}{97} = \frac{97 x}{97}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.28865979381443 = x$ (or $x = 0.28865979381443$ )

So, if the dividend is 28 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.28865979381443.
