What is x when 81 divided by x equals 11?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 81 and the quotient 11?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 81 ÷ 11 = 7.3636363636364

To prove this, let's compute 81 divided by 7.3636363636364: 81 7.3636363636364 = 11

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 81 divided by x gives a result of 11, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

81 x = 11

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 81 x x = 11 x
  2. 81 x x is equivalent to x x × 81 , which simplifies to 1 × 81 (or just 81 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 81 = 11 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 11: 81 11 = 11 x 11
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 7.3636363636364 = x (or x = 7.3636363636364 )

So, if the dividend is 81 and the quotient is 11, the divisor is 7.3636363636364.
