What is x when 83 divided by x equals 9?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 83 ÷ 9 = 9.2222222222222

To prove this, let's compute 83 divided by 9.2222222222222: $\frac{83}{9.2222222222222} = 9$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 83 divided by x gives a result of 9, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{83}{x} = 9$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{83 x}{x} = 9 x$
$\frac{83 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 83$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 83$ (or just $83$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $83 = 9 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 9: $\frac{83}{9} = \frac{9 x}{9}$
Which gives, after simplification: $9.2222222222222 = x$ (or $x = 9.2222222222222$ )

So, if the dividend is 83 and the quotient is 9, the divisor is 9.2222222222222.
