What is x when 88 divided by x equals 98?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 88 ÷ 98 = 0.89795918367347

To prove this, let's compute 88 divided by 0.89795918367347: $\frac{88}{0.89795918367347} = 98$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 88 divided by x gives a result of 98, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{88}{x} = 98$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{88 x}{x} = 98 x$
$\frac{88 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 88$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 88$ (or just $88$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $88 = 98 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 98: $\frac{88}{98} = \frac{98 x}{98}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.89795918367347 = x$ (or $x = 0.89795918367347$ )

So, if the dividend is 88 and the quotient is 98, the divisor is 0.89795918367347.
