What is x when 82 divided by x equals 99?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 82 ÷ 99 = 0.82828282828283

To prove this, let's compute 82 divided by 0.82828282828283: $\frac{82}{0.82828282828283} = 99$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 82 divided by x gives a result of 99, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{82}{x} = 99$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{82 x}{x} = 99 x$
$\frac{82 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 82$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 82$ (or just $82$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $82 = 99 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 99: $\frac{82}{99} = \frac{99 x}{99}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.82828282828283 = x$ (or $x = 0.82828282828283$ )

So, if the dividend is 82 and the quotient is 99, the divisor is 0.82828282828283.
