What is x when 84 divided by x equals 25?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 84 and the quotient 25?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 84 ÷ 25 = 3.36

To prove this, let's compute 84 divided by 3.36: 84 3.36 = 25

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 84 divided by x gives a result of 25, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

84 x = 25

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 84 x x = 25 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 = 25 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 25: 84 25 = 25 x 25
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.36 = x (or x = 3.36 )

So, if the dividend is 84 and the quotient is 25, the divisor is 3.36.
