What is x when 90 divided by x equals 97?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 90 and the quotient 97?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 90 ÷ 97 = 0.92783505154639

To prove this, let's compute 90 divided by 0.92783505154639: 90 0.92783505154639 = 97

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 90 divided by x gives a result of 97, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

90 x = 97

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 90 x x = 97 x
  2. 90 x x is equivalent to x x × 90 , which simplifies to 1 × 90 (or just 90 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 90 = 97 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 97: 90 97 = 97 x 97
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.92783505154639 = x (or x = 0.92783505154639 )

So, if the dividend is 90 and the quotient is 97, the divisor is 0.92783505154639.
