77 Divided by What Equals 83?MethodsSetting up the problem:In a problem like this, the “what” means that we’re working with a variable. The most common variable used in math is “x”. So we could say what number, x can we divide 77 by to equal 83?Solving 77 Divided by What Equals 83Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:77x=83\frac{77}{x} = 83x77=83The goal of the problem is to solve for x. To do this we need to change the equation so that x is alone on one side of the equation.In this case, it can be done in two steps. The first step is to multiply both sides by x to isolate 77:77=83∗x77 = 83*x77=83∗xThen we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 83:7783=x\frac{77}{83} = x8377=xWhen we simplify the new equation, we can solve for x. In this example, we will round to the nearest three decimal places if that’s needed.x=0.928x = 0.928x=0.928Practice Other Division Problems Like This OneIf this problem was a little difficult or you want to practice your skills on another one, give it a go on any one of these too!What divided by 93 equals 41?30 divided by what equals 96?What is 2/10 divided by 60?What is 15/3 divided by 1/11?What is 43 divided by 7/18?
