What is x when 97 divided by x equals 57?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 97 ÷ 57 = 1.7017543859649

To prove this, let's compute 97 divided by 1.7017543859649: $\frac{97}{1.7017543859649} = 57$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 97 divided by x gives a result of 57, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{97}{x} = 57$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{97 x}{x} = 57 x$
$\frac{97 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 97$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 97$ (or just $97$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $97 = 57 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 57: $\frac{97}{57} = \frac{57 x}{57}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.7017543859649 = x$ (or $x = 1.7017543859649$ )

So, if the dividend is 97 and the quotient is 57, the divisor is 1.7017543859649.
