What is x when 97 divided by x equals 11?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 97 and the quotient 11?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 97 ÷ 11 = 8.8181818181818

To prove this, let's compute 97 divided by 8.8181818181818: 97 8.8181818181818 = 11

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 97 divided by x gives a result of 11, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

97 x = 11

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 97 x x = 11 x
  2. 97 x x is equivalent to x x × 97 , which simplifies to 1 × 97 (or just 97 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 97 = 11 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 11: 97 11 = 11 x 11
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 8.8181818181818 = x (or x = 8.8181818181818 )

So, if the dividend is 97 and the quotient is 11, the divisor is 8.8181818181818.
