What is x when 84 divided by x equals 11?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 84 and the quotient 11?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 84 ÷ 11 = 7.6363636363636

To prove this, let's compute 84 divided by 7.6363636363636: 84 7.6363636363636 = 11

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 84 divided by x gives a result of 11, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

84 x = 11

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 84 x x = 11 x
  2. 84 x x is equivalent to x x × 84 , which simplifies to 1 × 84 (or just 84 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 84 = 11 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 11: 84 11 = 11 x 11
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 7.6363636363636 = x (or x = 7.6363636363636 )

So, if the dividend is 84 and the quotient is 11, the divisor is 7.6363636363636.
