What is x when 70 divided by x equals 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 70 ÷ 97 = 0.72164948453608

To prove this, let's compute 70 divided by 0.72164948453608: $\frac{70}{0.72164948453608} = 97$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 70 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{70}{x} = 97$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{70 x}{x} = 97 x$
$\frac{70 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 70$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 70$ (or just $70$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $70 = 97 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 97: $\frac{70}{97} = \frac{97 x}{97}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.72164948453608 = x$ (or $x = 0.72164948453608$ )

So, if the dividend is 70 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.72164948453608.
