What is x when 25 divided by x equals 95?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 25 and the quotient 95?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 25 ÷ 95 = 0.26315789473684

To prove this, let's compute 25 divided by 0.26315789473684: 25 0.26315789473684 = 95

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 25 divided by x gives a result of 95, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

25 x = 95

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 25 x x = 95 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 = 95 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 95: 25 95 = 95 x 95
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 0.26315789473684 = x (or x = 0.26315789473684 )

So, if the dividend is 25 and the quotient is 95, the divisor is 0.26315789473684.
