What is x when 25 divided by x equals 90?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 25 and the quotient 90?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 25 ÷ 90 = 0.27777777777778

To prove this, let's compute 25 divided by 0.27777777777778: 25 0.27777777777778 = 90

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 25 divided by x gives a result of 90, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

25 x = 90

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 25 x x = 90 x
  2. 25 x x is equivalent to x x × 25 , which simplifies to 1 × 25 (or just 25 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 25 = 90 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 90: 25 90 = 90 x 90
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.27777777777778 = x (or x = 0.27777777777778 )

So, if the dividend is 25 and the quotient is 90, the divisor is 0.27777777777778.
