What is x when 10 divided by x equals 92?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 10 and the quotient 92?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 10 ÷ 92 = 0.10869565217391

To prove this, let's compute 10 divided by 0.10869565217391: 10 0.10869565217391 = 92

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 10 divided by x gives a result of 92, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

10 x = 92

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 10 x x = 92 x
  2. 10 x x is equivalent to x x × 10 , which simplifies to 1 × 10 (or just 10 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 10 = 92 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 92: 10 92 = 92 x 92
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.10869565217391 = x (or x = 0.10869565217391 )

So, if the dividend is 10 and the quotient is 92, the divisor is 0.10869565217391.
