What is x when 98 divided by x equals 29?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 98 and the quotient 29?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 98 ÷ 29 = 3.3793103448276

To prove this, let's compute 98 divided by 3.3793103448276: 98 3.3793103448276 = 29

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 98 divided by x gives a result of 29, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

98 x = 29

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 98 x x = 29 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 = 29 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 29: 98 29 = 29 x 29
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 3.3793103448276 = x (or x = 3.3793103448276 )

So, if the dividend is 98 and the quotient is 29, the divisor is 3.3793103448276.
