What is x when 84 divided by x equals 34?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 84 and the quotient 34?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 84 ÷ 34 = 2.4705882352941

To prove this, let's compute 84 divided by 2.4705882352941: 84 2.4705882352941 = 34

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 84 divided by x gives a result of 34, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

84 x = 34

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 84 x x = 34 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 = 34 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 34: 84 34 = 34 x 34
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.4705882352941 = x (or x = 2.4705882352941 )

So, if the dividend is 84 and the quotient is 34, the divisor is 2.4705882352941.
