What is x when 65 divided by x equals 98?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 65 and the quotient 98?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 65 ÷ 98 = 0.66326530612245

To prove this, let's compute 65 divided by 0.66326530612245: 65 0.66326530612245 = 98

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 65 divided by x gives a result of 98, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

65 x = 98

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 65 x x = 98 x
  2. 65 x x is equivalent to x x × 65 , which simplifies to 1 × 65 (or just 65 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 65 = 98 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 98: 65 98 = 98 x 98
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.66326530612245 = x (or x = 0.66326530612245 )

So, if the dividend is 65 and the quotient is 98, the divisor is 0.66326530612245.
