What is x when 79 divided by x equals 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 79 ÷ 97 = 0.81443298969072

To prove this, let's compute 79 divided by 0.81443298969072: $\frac{79}{0.81443298969072} = 97$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 79 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{79}{x} = 97$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{79 x}{x} = 97 x$
$\frac{79 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 79$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 79$ (or just $79$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $79 = 97 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 97: $\frac{79}{97} = \frac{97 x}{97}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.81443298969072 = x$ (or $x = 0.81443298969072$ )

So, if the dividend is 79 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.81443298969072.
