What is x when 78 divided by x equals 83?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 78 ÷ 83 = 0.93975903614458

To prove this, let's compute 78 divided by 0.93975903614458: $\frac{78}{0.93975903614458} = 83$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 78 divided by x gives a result of 83, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{78}{x} = 83$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{78 x}{x} = 83 x$
$\frac{78 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 78$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 78$ (or just $78$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $78 = 83 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 83: $\frac{78}{83} = \frac{83 x}{83}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.93975903614458 = x$ (or $x = 0.93975903614458$ )

So, if the dividend is 78 and the quotient is 83, the divisor is 0.93975903614458.
