What is x when 99 divided by x equals 43?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 99 and the quotient 43?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 99 ÷ 43 = 2.3023255813953

To prove this, let's compute 99 divided by 2.3023255813953: 99 2.3023255813953 = 43

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 99 divided by x gives a result of 43, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

99 x = 43

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 99 x x = 43 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 = 43 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 43: 99 43 = 43 x 43
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 2.3023255813953 = x (or x = 2.3023255813953 )

So, if the dividend is 99 and the quotient is 43, the divisor is 2.3023255813953.
