What is x when 84 divided by x equals 58?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 84 and the quotient 58?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 84 ÷ 58 = 1.448275862069

To prove this, let's compute 84 divided by 1.448275862069: 84 1.448275862069 = 58

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 84 divided by x gives a result of 58, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

84 x = 58

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 84 x x = 58 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 = 58 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 58: 84 58 = 58 x 58
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.448275862069 = x (or x = 1.448275862069 )

So, if the dividend is 84 and the quotient is 58, the divisor is 1.448275862069.
