What is x when 24 divided by x equals 95?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 24 and the quotient 95?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 24 ÷ 95 = 0.25263157894737

To prove this, let's compute 24 divided by 0.25263157894737: 24 0.25263157894737 = 95

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 24 divided by x gives a result of 95, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

24 x = 95

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 24 x x = 95 x
  2. 24 x x is equivalent to x x × 24 , which simplifies to 1 × 24 (or just 24 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 24 = 95 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 95: 24 95 = 95 x 95
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.25263157894737 = x (or x = 0.25263157894737 )

So, if the dividend is 24 and the quotient is 95, the divisor is 0.25263157894737.
