What is x when 61 divided by x equals 98?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 61 and the quotient 98?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 61 ÷ 98 = 0.62244897959184

To prove this, let's compute 61 divided by 0.62244897959184: 61 0.62244897959184 = 98

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 61 divided by x gives a result of 98, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

61 x = 98

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 61 x x = 98 x
  2. 61 x x is equivalent to x x × 61 , which simplifies to 1 × 61 (or just 61 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 61 = 98 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 98: 61 98 = 98 x 98
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.62244897959184 = x (or x = 0.62244897959184 )

So, if the dividend is 61 and the quotient is 98, the divisor is 0.62244897959184.
