What is x when 98 divided by x equals 66?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 98 and the quotient 66?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 98 ÷ 66 = 1.4848484848485

To prove this, let's compute 98 divided by 1.4848484848485: 98 1.4848484848485 = 66

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 98 divided by x gives a result of 66, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

98 x = 66

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 98 x x = 66 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 = 66 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 66: 98 66 = 66 x 66
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.4848484848485 = x (or x = 1.4848484848485 )

So, if the dividend is 98 and the quotient is 66, the divisor is 1.4848484848485.
