What is x when 89 divided by x equals 98?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 89 ÷ 98 = 0.90816326530612

To prove this, let's compute 89 divided by 0.90816326530612: $\frac{89}{0.90816326530612} = 98$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 89 divided by x gives a result of 98, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{89}{x} = 98$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{89 x}{x} = 98 x$
$\frac{89 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 89$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 89$ (or just $89$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $89 = 98 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 98: $\frac{89}{98} = \frac{98 x}{98}$
Which gives, after simplification: $0.90816326530612 = x$ (or $x = 0.90816326530612$ )

So, if the dividend is 89 and the quotient is 98, the divisor is 0.90816326530612.
