By default case
Using inline-block property
Using fit-content property in width and height
In HTML div is by default fit to content inside it. The example goes like this:Example 1:
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang = "en" dir = "ltr">  <head>    <meta charset = "utf-8">    <title>Geeks for Geeks Example</title>    <!--CSS Code-->    <style media = "screen">      body {        background: orange;        overflow: hidden;        color: white;      }      .GeeksForGeeks {        background: dodgerblue;        position: absolute;        top: 50%;        left: 1%;        right: 1%;      }    </style>  </head>    <body>    <!-- HTML Code -->    <center><h1 style = "color:forestgreen ; top:35% ; left: 35% ;     position:absolute; ">Geeks For Geeks</h1></center>    <center>      <div class = "GeeksForGeeks">        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod        tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim        veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea        commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate        velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint        occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt        mollit anim id est laborum.      </div>    </center>  </body></html>
Output:The output of two different screen width is shown which proves that it fits with content inside it.Screen 1:Screen 2:
Use display: inline-block property to set a div size according to its content.Example 2:
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang = "en" dir = "ltr">  <head>    <meta charset = "utf-8">    <title>Geeks for Geeks Example</title>    <!--CSS Code-->    <style media = "screen">      body {        background: violet;        overflow: auto;        color: white;      }      .GeeksForGeeks {        background: dodgerblue;        position: absolute;        display: inline-block;        left: 1%;        right: 1%;        top: 50%;      }    </style>  </head>    <body>    <!-- HTML Code -->    <center><h1 style="color: forestgreen; top: 35%; left: 35%;      position: absolute;">Geeks For Geeks</h1></center>    <center>      <div class="GeeksForGeeks">        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod        tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim        veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea        commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate        velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint        occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt        mollit anim id est laborum.      </div>    </center>  </body></html>
Output:The output of two different screen width is shown which proves that it fits with content inside it.Screen 1:Screen 2:
In this method we set the width and height property to fit-content value.Example 3:
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang = "en" dir = "ltr">  <head>    <meta charset = "utf-8">    <title>Geeks for Geeks Example</title>    <!--CSS Code-->    <style media = "screen">      body {        background: tomato;        overflow: hidden;        color: white;      }      .GeeksForGeeks {        background: crimson;        position: absolute;        width:fit-content;        height:fit-content;        left: 0;        top: 50%;      }    </style>  </head>    <body>    <!-- HTML Code -->    <center><h1 style = "color: lime; top: 35%; left: 35%;      position: absolute;">Geeks For Geeks</h1></center>    <center>      <div class = "GeeksForGeeks">        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod        tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim        veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea        commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate        velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint        occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt        mollit anim id est laborum.      </div>    </center>  </body></html>
Output:The output of two different screen width is shown which proves that it fits with content inside it.Screen 1:Screen 2:
