What is x when 99 divided by x equals 34?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 99 and the quotient 34?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 99 ÷ 34 = 2.9117647058824

To prove this, let's compute 99 divided by 2.9117647058824: 99 2.9117647058824 = 34

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 99 divided by x gives a result of 34, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

99 x = 34

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 99 x x = 34 x
  2. 99 x x is equivalent to x x × 99 , which simplifies to 1 × 99 (or just 99 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 99 = 34 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 34: 99 34 = 34 x 34
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.9117647058824 = x (or x = 2.9117647058824 )

So, if the dividend is 99 and the quotient is 34, the divisor is 2.9117647058824.
