What is x when 98 divided by x equals 68?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 98 and the quotient 68?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 98 ÷ 68 = 1.4411764705882

To prove this, let's compute 98 divided by 1.4411764705882: 98 1.4411764705882 = 68

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 98 divided by x gives a result of 68, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

98 x = 68

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 98 x x = 68 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 = 68 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 68: 98 68 = 68 x 68
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 1.4411764705882 = x (or x = 1.4411764705882 )

So, if the dividend is 98 and the quotient is 68, the divisor is 1.4411764705882.
