What is x when 98 divided by x equals 22?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 98 and the quotient 22?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 98 ÷ 22 = 4.4545454545455

To prove this, let's compute 98 divided by 4.4545454545455: 98 4.4545454545455 = 22

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 98 divided by x gives a result of 22, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

98 x = 22

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 98 x x = 22 x
  2. 98 x x is equivalent to x x × 98 , which simplifies to 1 × 98 (or just 98 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 98 = 22 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 22: 98 22 = 22 x 22
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.4545454545455 = x (or x = 4.4545454545455 )

So, if the dividend is 98 and the quotient is 22, the divisor is 4.4545454545455.
