What is x when 88 divided by x equals 18?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 88 ÷ 18 = 4.8888888888889

To prove this, let's compute 88 divided by 4.8888888888889: $\frac{88}{4.8888888888889} = 18$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 88 divided by x gives a result of 18, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{88}{x} = 18$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{88 x}{x} = 18 x$
$\frac{88 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 88$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 88$ (or just $88$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $88 = 18 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 18: $\frac{88}{18} = \frac{18 x}{18}$
Which gives, after simplification: $4.8888888888889 = x$ (or $x = 4.8888888888889$ )

So, if the dividend is 88 and the quotient is 18, the divisor is 4.8888888888889.
