What is x when 83 divided by x equals 35?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 83 ÷ 35 = 2.3714285714286

To prove this, let's compute 83 divided by 2.3714285714286: $\frac{83}{2.3714285714286} = 35$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 83 divided by x gives a result of 35, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{83}{x} = 35$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{83 x}{x} = 35 x$
$\frac{83 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 83$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 83$ (or just $83$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $83 = 35 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 35: $\frac{83}{35} = \frac{35 x}{35}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.3714285714286 = x$ (or $x = 2.3714285714286$ )

So, if the dividend is 83 and the quotient is 35, the divisor is 2.3714285714286.
