What is x when 98 divided by x equals 58?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 98 ÷ 58 = 1.6896551724138

To prove this, let's compute 98 divided by 1.6896551724138: $\frac{98}{1.6896551724138} = 58$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 98 divided by x gives a result of 58, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{98}{x} = 58$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{98 x}{x} = 58 x$
$\frac{98 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 98$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 98$ (or just $98$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $98 = 58 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 58: $\frac{98}{58} = \frac{58 x}{58}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.6896551724138 = x$ (or $x = 1.6896551724138$ )

So, if the dividend is 98 and the quotient is 58, the divisor is 1.6896551724138.
