What is x when 88 divided by x equals 11?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 88 and the quotient 11?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 88 ÷ 11 = 8

To prove this, let's compute 88 divided by 8: 88 8 = 11

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 88 divided by x gives a result of 11, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

88 x = 11

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 88 x x = 11 x
  2. 88 x x is equivalent to x x × 88 , which simplifies to 1 × 88 (or just 88 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 88 = 11 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 11: 88 11 = 11 x 11
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 8 = x (or x = 8 )

So, if the dividend is 88 and the quotient is 11, the divisor is 8.
