What is x when 98 divided by x equals 61?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 98 ÷ 61 = 1.6065573770492

To prove this, let's compute 98 divided by 1.6065573770492: $\frac{98}{1.6065573770492} = 61$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 98 divided by x gives a result of 61, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{98}{x} = 61$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{98 x}{x} = 61 x$
$\frac{98 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 98$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 98$ (or just $98$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $98 = 61 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 61: $\frac{98}{61} = \frac{61 x}{61}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.6065573770492 = x$ (or $x = 1.6065573770492$ )

So, if the dividend is 98 and the quotient is 61, the divisor is 1.6065573770492.
