What is x when 8 divided by x equals 85?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 8 ÷ 85 = 0.094117647058824

To prove this, let's compute 8 divided by 0.094117647058824: $\frac{8}{0.094117647058824} = 85$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 8 divided by x gives a result of 85, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{8}{x} = 85$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{8 x}{x} = 85 x$
$\frac{8 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 8$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 8$ (or just $8$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $8 = 85 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 85: $\frac{8}{85} = \frac{85 x}{85}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.094117647058824 = x$ (or $x = 0.094117647058824$ )

So, if the dividend is 8 and the quotient is 85, the divisor is 0.094117647058824.
