What is x when 83 divided by x equals 23?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 83 ÷ 23 = 3.6086956521739

To prove this, let's compute 83 divided by 3.6086956521739: $\frac{83}{3.6086956521739} = 23$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 83 divided by x gives a result of 23, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{83}{x} = 23$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{83 x}{x} = 23 x$
$\frac{83 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 83$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 83$ (or just $83$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $83 = 23 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 23: $\frac{83}{23} = \frac{23 x}{23}$
Which gives, after simplification: $3.6086956521739 = x$ (or $x = 3.6086956521739$ )

So, if the dividend is 83 and the quotient is 23, the divisor is 3.6086956521739.
