What is x when 83 divided by x equals 11?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 83 and the quotient 11?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 83 ÷ 11 = 7.5454545454545

To prove this, let's compute 83 divided by 7.5454545454545: 83 7.5454545454545 = 11

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 83 divided by x gives a result of 11, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

83 x = 11

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 83 x x = 11 x
  2. 83 x x is equivalent to x x × 83 , which simplifies to 1 × 83 (or just 83 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 83 = 11 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 11: 83 11 = 11 x 11
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 7.5454545454545 = x (or x = 7.5454545454545 )

So, if the dividend is 83 and the quotient is 11, the divisor is 7.5454545454545.
