What is x when 99 divided by x equals 47?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 99 ÷ 47 = 2.1063829787234

To prove this, let's compute 99 divided by 2.1063829787234: $\frac{99}{2.1063829787234} = 47$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 99 divided by x gives a result of 47, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{99}{x} = 47$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{99 x}{x} = 47 x$
$\frac{99 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 99$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 99$ (or just $99$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $99 = 47 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 47: $\frac{99}{47} = \frac{47 x}{47}$
Which gives, after simplification: $2.1063829787234 = x$ (or $x = 2.1063829787234$ )

So, if the dividend is 99 and the quotient is 47, the divisor is 2.1063829787234.
