What is x when 98 divided by x equals 47?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 98 ÷ 47 = 2.0851063829787

To prove this, let's compute 98 divided by 2.0851063829787: $\frac{98}{2.0851063829787} = 47$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 98 divided by x gives a result of 47, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{98}{x} = 47$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{98 x}{x} = 47 x$
$\frac{98 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 98$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 98$ (or just $98$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $98 = 47 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 47: $\frac{98}{47} = \frac{47 x}{47}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.0851063829787 = x$ (or $x = 2.0851063829787$ )

So, if the dividend is 98 and the quotient is 47, the divisor is 2.0851063829787.
