What is x when 99 divided by x equals 57?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 99 ÷ 57 = 1.7368421052632

To prove this, let's compute 99 divided by 1.7368421052632: $\frac{99}{1.7368421052632} = 57$

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 99 divided by x gives a result of 57, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{99}{x} = 57$

Multiply both sides by x: $\frac{99 x}{x} = 57 x$
$\frac{99 x}{x}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{x} \times 99$ , which simplifies to $1 \times 99$ (or just $99$ ).
Thus, the equation becomes: $99 = 57 x$
To find x, divide both sides by 57: $\frac{99}{57} = \frac{57 x}{57}$
Which gives, after simplification: $1.7368421052632 = x$ (or $x = 1.7368421052632$ )

So, if the dividend is 99 and the quotient is 57, the divisor is 1.7368421052632.
