What is x when 68 divided by x equals 98?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 68 and the quotient 98?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 68 ÷ 98 = 0.69387755102041

To prove this, let's compute 68 divided by 0.69387755102041: 68 0.69387755102041 = 98

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 68 divided by x gives a result of 98, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

68 x = 98

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 68 x x = 98 x
  2. 68 x x is equivalent to x x × 68 , which simplifies to 1 × 68 (or just 68 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 68 = 98 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 98: 68 98 = 98 x 98
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.69387755102041 = x (or x = 0.69387755102041 )

So, if the dividend is 68 and the quotient is 98, the divisor is 0.69387755102041.
