What is x when 98 divided by x equals 62?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 98 ÷ 62 = 1.5806451612903

To prove this, let's compute 98 divided by 1.5806451612903: $\frac{98}{1.5806451612903} = 62$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 98 divided by x gives a result of 62, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{98}{x} = 62$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{98 x}{x} = 62 x$
$\frac{98 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 98$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 98$ (or just $98$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $98 = 62 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 62: $\frac{98}{62} = \frac{62 x}{62}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.5806451612903 = x$ (or $x = 1.5806451612903$ )

So, if the dividend is 98 and the quotient is 62, the divisor is 1.5806451612903.
