What is x when 98 divided by x equals 73?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 98 ÷ 73 = 1.3424657534247

To prove this, let's compute 98 divided by 1.3424657534247: $\frac{98}{1.3424657534247} = 73$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 98 divided by x gives a result of 73, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{98}{x} = 73$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{98 x}{x} = 73 x$
$\frac{98 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 98$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 98$ (or just $98$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $98 = 73 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 73: $\frac{98}{73} = \frac{73 x}{73}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.3424657534247 = x$ (or $x = 1.3424657534247$ )

So, if the dividend is 98 and the quotient is 73, the divisor is 1.3424657534247.
