What Divided By 83 Equals 244

Solving What Divided by 83 Equals 244

Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:

$\frac{x}{83}=244$

The 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, we can do that by multiplying both sides of the equation by $83$, resulting in this equation:

$x = 244 \times 83$

Then we simplify and find our answer:

$x = 20252$

So, the answer to the question “What divided by $83$ equals $244$?” is $20252$. To prove this, we can take the original problem:

$\frac{x}{83} = 244$

And insert $20252$ in the place of $x$:

$\frac{20252}{83} = 244$

Because this is true, the answer must be correct.
