What is x when 89 divided by x equals 9?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 89 and the quotient 9?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 89 ÷ 9 = 9.8888888888889

To prove this, let's compute 89 divided by 9.8888888888889: 89 9.8888888888889 = 9

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 89 divided by x gives a result of 9, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

89 x = 9

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 89 x x = 9 x
  2. 89 x x is equivalent to x x × 89 , which simplifies to 1 × 89 (or just 89 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 89 = 9 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 9: 89 9 = 9 x 9
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 9.8888888888889 = x (or x = 9.8888888888889 )

So, if the dividend is 89 and the quotient is 9, the divisor is 9.8888888888889.
