What is x when 91 divided by x equals 98?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 91 and the quotient 98?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 91 ÷ 98 = 0.92857142857143

To prove this, let's compute 91 divided by 0.92857142857143: 91 0.92857142857143 = 98

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 91 divided by x gives a result of 98, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

91 x = 98

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 91 x x = 98 x
  2. 91 x x is equivalent to x x × 91 , which simplifies to 1 × 91 (or just 91 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 91 = 98 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 98: 91 98 = 98 x 98
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.92857142857143 = x (or x = 0.92857142857143 )

So, if the dividend is 91 and the quotient is 98, the divisor is 0.92857142857143.
