What is x when 8 divided by x equals 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 8 ÷ 97 = 0.082474226804124

To prove this, let's compute 8 divided by 0.082474226804124: $\frac{8}{0.082474226804124} = 97$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 8 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{8}{x} = 97$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{8 x}{x} = 97 x$
$\frac{8 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 8$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 8$ (or just $8$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $8 = 97 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 97: $\frac{8}{97} = \frac{97 x}{97}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.082474226804124 = x$ (or $x = 0.082474226804124$ )

So, if the dividend is 8 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.082474226804124.
