What is x when 98 divided by x equals 27?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 98 ÷ 27 = 3.6296296296296

To prove this, let's compute 98 divided by 3.6296296296296: $\frac{98}{3.6296296296296} = 27$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 98 divided by x gives a result of 27, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{98}{x} = 27$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{98 x}{x} = 27 x$
$\frac{98 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 98$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 98$ (or just $98$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $98 = 27 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 27: $\frac{98}{27} = \frac{27 x}{27}$
Which gives, after simplification: $3.6296296296296 = x$ (or $x = 3.6296296296296$ )

So, if the dividend is 98 and the quotient is 27, the divisor is 3.6296296296296.
