What is x when 16 divided by x equals 92?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 16 and the quotient 92?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 16 ÷ 92 = 0.17391304347826

To prove this, let's compute 16 divided by 0.17391304347826: 16 0.17391304347826 = 92

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 16 divided by x gives a result of 92, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

16 x = 92

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 16 x x = 92 x
  2. 16 x x is equivalent to x x × 16 , which simplifies to 1 × 16 (or just 16 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 16 = 92 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 92: 16 92 = 92 x 92
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.17391304347826 = x (or x = 0.17391304347826 )

So, if the dividend is 16 and the quotient is 92, the divisor is 0.17391304347826.
