What is x when 34 divided by x equals 97?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 34 and the quotient 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 34 ÷ 97 = 0.35051546391753

To prove this, let's compute 34 divided by 0.35051546391753: 34 0.35051546391753 = 97

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 34 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

34 x = 97

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 34 x x = 97 x
  2. 34 x x is equivalent to x x × 34 , which simplifies to 1 × 34 (or just 34 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 34 = 97 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 97: 34 97 = 97 x 97
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.35051546391753 = x (or x = 0.35051546391753 )

So, if the dividend is 34 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.35051546391753.
