What is x when 60 divided by x equals 98?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 60 ÷ 98 = 0.61224489795918

To prove this, let's compute 60 divided by 0.61224489795918: $\frac{60}{0.61224489795918} = 98$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 60 divided by x gives a result of 98, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{60}{x} = 98$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{60 x}{x} = 98 x$
$\frac{60 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 60$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 60$ (or just $60$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $60 = 98 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 98: $\frac{60}{98} = \frac{98 x}{98}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.61224489795918 = x$ (or $x = 0.61224489795918$ )

So, if the dividend is 60 and the quotient is 98, the divisor is 0.61224489795918.
