What is x when 97 divided by x equals 29?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 97 and the quotient 29?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 97 ÷ 29 = 3.3448275862069

To prove this, let's compute 97 divided by 3.3448275862069: 97 3.3448275862069 = 29

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 97 divided by x gives a result of 29, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

97 x = 29

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 97 x x = 29 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 = 29 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 29: 97 29 = 29 x 29
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.3448275862069 = x (or x = 3.3448275862069 )

So, if the dividend is 97 and the quotient is 29, the divisor is 3.3448275862069.
