What is x when 61 divided by x equals 83?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 61 ÷ 83 = 0.73493975903614

To prove this, let's compute 61 divided by 0.73493975903614: $\frac{61}{0.73493975903614} = 83$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 61 divided by x gives a result of 83, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{61}{x} = 83$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{61 x}{x} = 83 x$
$\frac{61 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 61$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 61$ (or just $61$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $61 = 83 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 83: $\frac{61}{83} = \frac{83 x}{83}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.73493975903614 = x$ (or $x = 0.73493975903614$ )

So, if the dividend is 61 and the quotient is 83, the divisor is 0.73493975903614.
