What is x when 84 divided by x equals 82?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 84 ÷ 82 = 1.0243902439024

To prove this, let's compute 84 divided by 1.0243902439024: $\frac{84}{1.0243902439024} = 82$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 84 divided by x gives a result of 82, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{84}{x} = 82$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{84 x}{x} = 82 x$
$\frac{84 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 84$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 84$ (or just $84$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $84 = 82 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 82: $\frac{84}{82} = \frac{82 x}{82}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.0243902439024 = x$ (or $x = 1.0243902439024$ )

So, if the dividend is 84 and the quotient is 82, the divisor is 1.0243902439024.
